can someone help me simplify x^5/x^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When dividing powers with the same base, keep the same base and subtract the exponents (exponent of numerator subtract numerator of denominator)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\bf \cfrac{x^5}{x^3}\implies \cfrac{xx\cancel{ xxx}}{\cancel{ xxx}} \)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be x^2?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

yeap

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help me with more?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
