Question

Which quotient does not belong with the other three?explain your reasoning?

Answer 1

(-4)^8/(-3)^4

Explanation:

Answer 2

Example:
`x^2` The "x" is where the base is, the "2" is the power/exponent of the base

The 3rd quotient:
`((-4)^8)/((-3)^4)` does not belong with the other three because it has two different bases of -4 and -3. [You can't combine powers/exponents if they have different bases.]

The other quotients have the same bases:

`((-10)^7)/((-10)^2)` same base of -10

`(6^3)/(6^2)` same base of 6

`(5^6)/(5^3)` same base of 5
