Question

Write as a single power of 3. 3^8/3^6

Answer 1

`3^2` is the correct answer.

Explanation:

`(3^8)/(3^6)\\\\\mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}:\quad (x^a)/(x^b)=x^(a-b)\\\\=3^(8-6)\\\\=3^2\\\\=9`

Best Regards!

Answer 2

`3^2`

Explanation:

=>
`(3^8)/(3^6)`

When the same bases are being divided, the powers are subtracted as the rule of exponents, i.e.
`(a^m)/(a^n) = a^(m-n)`

=>
`3^(8-6)`

=>
`3^2`
