Question

Simplify the expression k^14/k^7

Answer 1

$\bf \left.\qquad \qquad \right.\textit{negative exponents}\\\\ a^{-{ n}} \implies \cfrac{1}{a^{ n}} \qquad \qquad \cfrac{1}{a^{ n}}\implies a^{-{ n}} \qquad \qquad a^{{{ n}}}\implies \cfrac{1}{a^{-{{ n}}}}\\\\ -------------------------------\\\\ \cfrac{k^{14}}{k^7}\implies k^{14}k^{-7}\implies k^{14-7}\implies k^7$
