Question

p^n/p^8 = p^-6 what is N? the arrows pointing up mean the power of the letter

Answer 1

Answer: n=2
Steps:
p^n/p^8 = p^-6

p^n = p^8 × p^-6

p^n = p^(8-6)

p^n = p^2

n=2

Answer 2

$\text{Use}\ \dfrac{a^n}{a^m}=a^{n-m}.\\\\\dfrac{p^n}{p^8}=p^{-6}\\\\p^{n-8}=p^{-6}\iff n-8=-6\qquad\text{add 8 to both sides}\\\\\boxed{n=2}$
