Question

Which choice represents the fraction below as a single exponential
expression?

Answer 1

d^5

Explanation:

Given the indicinal expression

d^8/d^3

Based on the law of indices, if the base are the same, subtract the powers. This is as shown:

d^8/d^3 = d^{8-3}

d^{8-3} = d^5

Hence the solution is d^5
