Answer:

3^6

Explanation:

Here we have the 10th power of 3 and the 4th power of 3 and wish to find the quotient

3^10

--------

3^4

The pertinent rule here follows: (a^x) / (a^y) = a^(x-y) (subtract the exponent of the denominator from the exponent of the numerator.


Thus, we get 3^(10-4), or 3^6.
