Quotient Rule

Quotient Rule: For LIKE BASES, keep the base the same and __________exponents.

• multiply

• add

• subtract

• divide

 $\frac{\ \ \ x^{15}\ \ \ }{y^{12}}$  

•  $xy^3$  

•  $x^{27}$  

• Not like bases, laws of exponents can not be applied 

•  $y^3$  

 $\frac{w^4y^6x^2}{w^2y^3x}$ 

•  $w^6y^9x^3$  

•  $w^2y^3x$  

• 4-3-1

•  $wxy$  

 $\frac{18x^{10}}{2x^3}$  Hint: divide coefficients

•  $9x^7$  

•  $9x^{13}$  

•  $18x^7$  

•  $2x^{13}$  

 $\frac{30y^{12}}{15y^2}$  

•  $2y^{24}$  

•  $2^{10}$  

•  $2y^{10}$  

•  $2y^{14}$
