What is the answer for x⁵÷x⁸
​

Answer 1

Hi there!

I believe your answer is:

`(1)/(x^3)`

»»————-　★　————-««

Here’s why:

⸻⸻⸻⸻

`\boxed{\text{Calculating the Answer...}}\\\\x^5/ x^8\\---------\\\rightarrow \text{Rewrite as:} (x^5)/(x^8)\\\\\rightarrow \text{Recall the exponent rule: } (x^a)/(x^b)=x^(a-b)\\\\\rightarrow (x^5)/(x^8) = x^(-3)\\\\\rightarrow \text{Recall the exponent rule: }x^(-b)=(1)/(x^b)\\\\\rightarrow x^(-3)\\\\\rightarrow \boxed{(1)/(x^3)}`

⸻⸻⸻⸻

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.
