Question

(29 PTS) Explain how the Quotient of Powers Property was used to simplify this expression. 3^4/9 = 3^2

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

d is the correct ans

see,

As the bases are equal we can cut the bas,

Answer 2

Answer:

B. By simplifying 9 to $3^{2}$ to make both powers base three and subtracting the exponents

Step-by-step explanation:

When you have a division the quotient of powers property states that the exponents should be substracted, and by simplifying 9 to $3^{2}$ you end up with an equation like this:

$\frac{3^{4} }{3^{2} }$=$3^{2}$

Then you just have to substract the exponent from the denominator from the numerator´s exponent, which would be:

4-2=2

and the resultant equation would be:

$3^{2} =3^{2}$
