Dividing Rule with Exponents

The quotient rule says that when you are dividing two exponents with the same base, you keep the base and __________ the exponents.

• Add

• Subract

• Multiply

• Divide

• x²
• x³
• x
• x⁵

• x⁴
• x⁸
• x¹²
• x²⁰

• x³
• x⁹
• x
• 1

Simplify the expression:
(5⁸) ÷ (5²)

• 5⁶

• 5¹⁰

• 5⁴

• 5¹⁶

bⁿ/b^m

• b^n-m

• b^n+m

• b^nxm

• b^-n

15⁹÷15^{3 =}

• 15⁶

• 15¹²

• 1⁶

• 1¹²

8⁷ ⁄ 8²

• 8⁵

• 8⁹

• 8¹⁴

• 1⁵

3⁴/ 3⁸

• 3⁴

• 1/3⁴

• 3^-12

• 3³²

According to exponent rules, when we divide the expressions we _______ the exponents.

• add

• subtract

• multiply

• divide
