Question

please help

Answer 1

I think B

Answer 2

Think again.

Answer 3

Recall that 8 can be turned into an exponent that has the same base, so you'll be able to subtract the exponents.

Answer 4

C

Answer 5

See the rule that I posted in the pic. above (that is Quotient of Powers). :)


And yup, C is correct!

Answer 6

Hope you found that helpful ^.^

Answer 7

YAYY! Well im going to look at it because i guessed C

Answer 8

Haha alright :)

Answer 9

I can explain further if you have anymore questions :)

Answer 10

please explain

Answer 11

okay.

So 8 is equivalent to \(2^3\)

So if you use this, your problem would turn into this:

\(\Large\frac{2^5}{2^3}\)

So do you see how the bases are both 2?

Answer 12

Oh okay i sseeee

Answer 13

OOOOOOo okay okay i understand now

Answer 14

no need for any further explanations...

Answer 15

you could argue for A though I guess, because you are technically adding the two exponents 5 and -3 to get 2

Answer 16

so you subtract the exponents! :)

Glad to be of service :)

Answer 17

thanks you!

Answer 18

welp, adding the exponents would be what you do for the Product of Powers. Quotient of powers is when you subtract, so I'm fairly certain that C. is the answer

Answer 19

I mean A and C are really the same thing, it just depend on how you see things are you adding 5 and -3 or subtract 5 and 3

Answer 20

a is incorrect you would need the answer to be 2^8

Answer 21

o

Answer 22

congrats on mathlete jamie

Answer 23

I mean, perhaps. But the rule of quotients is what makes C. the answer I'd choose without a doubt.

And thanks! @ItryMath ! Although, I've been a mathlete for...quite a long time, LOL

Answer 24

really, i thought you where a human calculator

Answer 25

If this is an exam I would go for C too, just saying that its poorly worded so two answers both makes sense
