Question

( 3x^8 ) divided ( x^5 ) =

Answer 1

\[\large\frac{ a^b }{ a^c }=a^{b-c}\]
Similarly
\[\large\frac{ 3x^8 }{ x^5 }=3x^{8-5}\]
\[=\large3x^3\]
Getting it @HorseCrazyGirlForever?

Answer 2

Sort of. Thanks for your help @ajprincess!

Answer 3

Is it confusing?

Answer 4

Yeah.

Answer 5

Which part of it?

Answer 6

Pretty much all of it. :$

Answer 7

Take \(\large a^b\) and \(\large a^c\). Assume that u want to find
\[\large\frac{ a^b }{ a^c}\].
The answer will have the same base that is a. But the exponent of the answer will be the difference of the exponents b and c. that is the exponent of the answer will be b-c. So
\[\large\frac{ a^b }{ a^c }=a^{b-c}\] Getting it? or still am I confusing u?

Answer 8

Kind of still confusing... Can you walk me through this one? Usually when I am walked through things, I understand them better.

( 18 x ^ 13 ) divided ( 3x^7 ) =

Answer 9

This can be easily found by the general formula
\[\large\frac{ a^b }{ a^c }=a^{b-c}\]
\[\large\frac{ x^3 }{ x^2 }=x^{3-2}=x^1=x\]
