For this case we have the following expression:


(10 ^ a)/(10 ^ b)

For power properties we have:

In the division, when we have the same base, the exponents are subtracted.

We then have to rewrite the expression:


(10 ^ a)/(10 ^ b) = 10 ^ {a-b}

Answer:

Completing the expression we have:


(10 ^ a)/(10 ^ b) = 10 ^ {a-b}
