Question

What is the most efficient method for simplifying the expression?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To divide exponents, you just have to subtract the exponents from eachother, x^8/x^3, 8 - 3 = 5, so it is x^5

Answer 2

Answer:

You can keep the base same and subtract the exponents since the function asks us to divide.

Step-by-step explanation:

⇒ $\frac{x^8}{x^3}$ = x⁸ - x³

⇒ 8 - 3= 5

⇒ x⁵
