Question

does anybody now how do divide exponents?

Answer 1

generally you do not divide exponents
maybe you mean
\[\large \frac{b^m}{b^n}=b^{m-n}\]

Answer 2

\[a^{m} * a^{n} = a^{m+n}\]

Answer 3

mult by reciprocal

Answer 4

yes but i dont understtand how to do it

Answer 5

\[\large \frac{7^8}{7^5}=7^{8-5}=7^3\] for example

Answer 6

what is the problem

Answer 7

\[\large \frac{x^6y^{10}}{x^3y^4}=x^{6-3}y^{10-4}=x^3y^6\]

Answer 8

and i dont understand that?

Answer 9

\[\large \frac{y^6}{y^9}=\frac{1}{y^{9-6}}=\frac{1}{y^3}\]

Answer 10

if you want positive exponents
if you want negative exponents
\[\large \frac{y^6}{y^9}=y^{6-9}=y^{-3}\]

Answer 11

same answer, since
\[\large y^{-3}=\frac{1}{y^3}\]

Answer 12

\[\frac{ y^6 }{ y^9 }=\frac{ y^6 }{ y^6\cdot y^3 }=\frac{ \cancel {y^6 }}{ \cancel {y^6}}\cdot \frac{ 1 }{ y^3 }= \frac{ 1 }{ y^3 }=y^{-3} = y^{(6-9)}\]

Answer 13

btw, this isn't dividing exponents... it's dividing exponentials
