Question

Hey... I was wondering how to write a quotient as one power? Also, can you help me out with this problem as an example? 17^19 / 17^2. Divide

Answer 1

well you divide the same base, you can subtract the powers

e.g.

\[\frac{x^a}{x^b} = x^{a - b}\]

this is the index law you need for this question.

Answer 2

Hmmmm, I see. So 17/17?

Answer 3

correct \[17=7^{17}\]

Answer 4
