Choose the correct simplification of x^2/x^7 I think the answer is x^5 im not sure

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you're close, but that's not it

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Think of x^2 as x*x Think of x^7 as x*x*x*x*x*x*x So x^2 ----- x^7 becomes x*x ------------ x*x*x*x*x*x*x

so it would be 1/x^5?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
