Question

Which expression is equivalent to rm ÷ rn??

Answer 1

I have worked that on paper

Answer 2

Answer:

$r^{m-n}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an expression $r^m\div r^n$. We are asked to find equivalent expression to our given expression.

First of all, we will write our given division problem as a fraction:

$\frac{r^m}{r^n}$

Using exponent property $\frac{a^b}{a^c}=a^{b-c}$, we can rewrite our given expression as:

$\frac{r^m}{r^n}=r^{m-n}$

Therefore, the expression $r^{m-n}$ is equivalent to our given expression.
