Question

Simplify the expression using the properties of exponents . Expand any numerical portion of your answer and only include exponentsx^9/x^5.

Answer 1

To answer this question we will use the following property of exponents:

$\frac{a^m}{a^n}=a^{m-n}\text{.}$

Therefore:

$\frac{x^9}{x^5}=x^{9-5}\text{.}$

Simplifying the above result we get:

$x^{9-5}=x^4\text{.}$

Answer:

$x^4\text{.}$
