I think its D. but im not exactly sure. @Nnesha

Nnesha (nnesha):

why do you think its D ?

Nnesha (nnesha):

exponent rule!\[\huge\rm \frac{ x^m }{ x^n }=x^{m-n}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When you divide with the small number ( I forgot the name ) You just subtract.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-13

Nnesha (nnesha):

how did you get that ?? 1st) move the -4 exponent to the top then think about it what number you should combine with 4 to get 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have the answer (5)

Nnesha (nnesha):

yep right \[\frac{ 8^{?} }{ 8^{-4} } = 8^{?-(-4)}=8^{?+4}\] this time i gave you hint but next you should figure it out!

Nnesha (nnesha):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
