Answer:
(2^2)(z^7)

Step-by-step explanation:
The quotient rule states that if two powers have the same base and are on opposite places of a fraction (one is on the numerator, the other on the denominator), you subtract the exponents.

First looking at the powers with the bases of 2, 2^8 is the numerator and 2^6 is the denominator. When we subtract 8-6 we get 2, so 2^8/2^6 would simplify to 2^2.

Then, we look at the powers with the base of z. z^10 is the numerator and z^3 is the denominator. When we subtract 10-3 we get 7, so z^10/z^3 would simplify to z^7.

I hope this helps! Please comment if you have any questions:)
