Answer:

The answer is b⁴

Explanation:


\frac{ {b}^(10) }{ {b}^(6) }

Using the rules of indices

That's


\frac{ {a}^(x) }{ {a}^(y) } = {a}^(x - y)

Since the bases are the same and are dividing we subtract the exponents

So we have


\frac{ {b}^(10) }{ {b}^(6) } = {b}^(10 - 6)

We have the final answer as

b⁴

Hope this helps you
