Question

Negative 6 to the 8th power divided by negative 6 to the 5th power

Answer 1

Explanation:

`\sf{ \frac{{( - 6)}^(8) }{{( - 6)}^(5) } }`

We know that:-

• Powers of same bases,
• When go to numerator, gets subtracted.

So,

`{( - 6)}^(8 - 5)`

`{( - 6)}^(3)`

`= - 216`

is the answer.

Odd powers do not change the sign.

But even powers do change it.
