Question

Simplify this expression

Answer 1

`4^(6)`

Explanation:

When you are dividing exponents, you subtract them.

`4^(9-3)` which gives you
`4^(6)`

You can check your work by writing it all out

`(4*4*4*4*4*4*4*4*4)/(4*4*4)`

The 3 4s in the denominator will cancel out 3 4s in the numerator.

You are left with only 6 4s in the numerator, which is
`4^(6)`
