Question

how do you explain how i got the awnser to x to the power of 4 over x to the power of 2

Answer 1

\[\frac{ X ^{4} }{ X ^{2}}=X ^{4-2}=X ^{2}\]

Answer 2

when you divide numbers with the same base subtract the powers
x^4/x^2 = x^(4-2) = x^2

when you divide you are cancelling like factors
x*x*x*x / x*x = x*x
