Question

Simplify the expression.x^5/x^9a. 1/x^4b.x^14c. 1/x^14d.x^4

Answer 1

Answer: B. 1/x^4
When you divide the coefficients of exponents you must subtract the exponents. In this cause it got to x^-4. You cannot leave it as a negative exponent so you must put it as the denominator in this cause to get rid of the exponent making the answer b. 1/x^4.
