Question

What expression is equivalent to (a^-8 b/a^-5 b^3)

Answer 1

Explanation:

There's more than 1 way this can be represented.

a: a^-8/a^-5

a: a^(-8 + 5)

a: a^-3

=======

b: b / b^3

b: b^(1 - 3)

b: b^(-2)

=======

So one of the answers could be

a^-3*b^-2

Another could be

1/(a^3*b^2)

There are other ways, but these are the main 2. If you have choices list them.
