Simplifying and Using the Quotient Property
Apply the Quotient Property for Exponents, , to simplify quotients where the exponent in the numerator is greater than the exponent in the denominator.
- For , since , there are more factors of in the numerator. Subtract the denominator's exponent from the numerator's exponent: . This simplifies to .
- For , the base is a number (). Since , apply the property: . This simplifies to .
When the larger exponent is in the numerator, the simplified result leaves factors in the numerator.
