Question

Apply the quotient rule to the expression below. Once you have applied the quotient rule identify the base and the power then simplify. 4^4 \div4 The base is AnswerThe exponent is AnswerThis simplifies to Answer

Answer 1

You have a number raised to a power. The number is called the base and the power (superscript number) is the exponent.

The formula to the quotient powers rule is the next:

`(a^m)/(a^n)=a^(m-n)`

For the given expression:

`(4^4)/(4)=(4^4)/(4^1)=4^(4-1)=4^3`Base: 4Exponent: 3This simplifies to: 64
`4^3=4*4*4=64`
