ANSWER

h⁴

Step-by-step explanation

When we have a quotient between two powers and they both have the same base, we can simplify the expression by writing the base raised to the difference of the exponents,


(a^b)/(a^c)=a^(b-c)

In this case, the base is h,


(h^7)/(h^3)=h^(7-3)=h^4

Hence, the simplified expression is h⁴.
