Question

Please help I really need help. I am super confused and would really appreciate it

Answer 1

`a^(5)`

Explanation:

Given the mathematical expression;

a⁸/a³

To rewrite the expression in the form
`a^(m)`

We would have to apply the law of indices.

`Law \; of \; division = \frac {a^(x)}{a^(y)} = a^(x - y)`

`Law \; of \; division = \frac {a^(8)}{a^(3)} = a^(8 - 3)`

`a^(m) = a^(8 - 3) = a^(5)`
