What is the value of (6^3\div6^2)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 6
When powers with the same base are divided, subtract the exponents: \(6^3\div6^2=6^{3-2}=6^1=6\). Option 36 is \(6^2\), which may result from applying the exponent rule incorrectly. Exam tip: use \(a^m\div a^n=a^{m-n}\) for the same non-zero base.
