Answer: Last Option


(x^3)/(x^5)=x^(-2)

Explanation:

We have the following expression:

x³ ÷ x⁵

This is:


(x^3)/(x^5)

To simplify the expression, use the power division of the same base property

Remember that:


(x^m)/(x^n)=x^(m-n)

Then we have that:


(x^3)/(x^5)=x^(3-5)


x^(3-5)=x^(-2)

Finally:


(x^3)/(x^5)=x^(-2)

The answer is the last option
