What is simplified form of (\frac{a^6}{a^2})
Advertisement
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(a^4\)
When powers with the same non-zero base are divided, their exponents are subtracted: \(\frac{a^m}{a^n}=a^{m-n}\), where \(a\ne0\). Thus, \(\frac{a^6}{a^2}=a^{6-2}=a^4\). Exam tip: subtract exponents for division of like bases; do not add them.
