Question

How do you find the answer for X to the -20 divided by ex to be -14

Answer 1

The result of the division is
`x^(-6)`

Explanation:

Division of two terms with same base and different exponents:

When we divide two terms with the same base, but with different exponents, we keep the base and subtract the exponents.

In this question:

We divide
`x^(-20)` by
`x^(-14)`. So

`(x^(-20))/(x^(-14)) = x^(-20 - (-14)) = x^(-20 + 14) = x^(-6)`

The result of the division is
`x^(-6)`
