Question

What is the quotient of -15x^6 divided by -5x^3?

Answer 1

You can rewrite this problem as the expression:

`(-15x^6)/(-5x^3)`

We can then use this rule for exponents to divide the `x` terms:

`x^color(red)(a)/x^color(blue)(b) = x^(color(red)(a)-color(blue)(b))`

`(-15x^color(red)(6))/(-5x^color(blue)(3)) -> 3x^(color(red)(6) - color(blue)(3)) -> 3x^3`
