Question

What is the quotient?

Answer 1

Answer: FIRST OPTION

Step-by-step explanation:

According the quotient of powers property, when you have the division of two powers with the same base, then you must subtract the exponents.

Therefore, keeping the property above on mind, you have that the quotient is the shown below:

$\frac{(-7)^2}{(-7)^{-1}}=(-7)^{(2-(-1))}=(-7)^{(2+1)}=(-7)^3=-343$

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is -343

Step-by-step explanation:

We just need to divide both numbers and find the result

(-7)^2 / (-7)^-1

(-7)^(2-(-1)) =

(-7)^(2+1) =

(-7)^(3) =

(-7)*(-7)*(-7) = (49)*(-7) = -343
