The answer is: " 27 " . __________________________________________
3⁵ / 3² = 3⁽⁵⁻²⁾ = 3³ = 3 * 3 * 3 = 9 * 3 = 27 . __________________________________________ -Edit -- Note the following property of exponents : "quotient rule" of exponents: _____________________________________________ Given that "a" and "b" are positive integers; and that "x" is a real number greater than "zero"; ____________________________________________ If a <span>≥ b , then:
x</span>ᵃ /xᵇ = x⁽ᵃ ⁻ ᵇ⁾ ; ____________________________________________ If a <span>< b , then: </span> xᵃ /xᵇ = x⁽ᵇ ⁻ ᵃ⁾ ____________________________________________
