Question

What is the quotient of -8x^6/4x^-3?

Answer 1

d

Explanation:

d

Answer 2

Answer:
`-2x^(9)`

Explanation:

To find the quotient, you need to apply the Quotient of powers property. This is:

`(a^m)/(a^n)=a^{(m-n)`

Then given the expression
`(-8x^6)/(4x^(-3))` you can apply the property mentioned before. Then you get:

`(-8x^((6-(-3))))/(4)`

You should remember the multiplication of signs:

`(-)(-)=+\\(+)(+)=+\\(-)(+)=-`

Therefore, simplifying the expression, you get that the quotient of
`(-8x^6)/(4x^(-3))` is:

`-2x^(9)`
