What is b over b to the power of 5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it b/b^5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since it is division of powers, you subtract the exponents. so its 1/b^4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

consider example a4/a9=a^4-9 a^-5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if same base is multiplying add powers if same base is dividing subtract powers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in your case its diving so b^1-5 b^-4
