Question

How do you simplify expressions using the quotient rule?

Answer 1

The Quotient Rule for Exponents

Let me give you a basic explanation:

Lets take the example of
`4^36/4^21`

The quotient rule states that for an expression like `x^a/x^b = x^(a-b)`

Now of course you question how to simplify expressions using this rule.

Now lets take such a eg.

Compute the following: `{625x^23}/{25x^3}`

this nothing but 25`(x^(23-3))`

So we are left with this final answer `25x^20`
