The solution to the expression after simplifying it is
Simplification of indices.
In mathematics, indices is a way of writing a repeated multiplicated number as a power or exponent form. The simplification of indices involves the appropriate use of the rules of exponents to simplify the indices into their simplest form.
From the given information, we are to simplify;
Using the power rule;
Division changes to subtraction when subtracting indices with the same base; i.e.
