Question

What is the quotient of -8a^8b^-2/ 10a^-4b^-10 in simplified form?

Answer 1

Here are a few rules with exponents that you need to know:

1. Dividing exponents of the same base: $\frac{x^m}{x^n}=x^{m-n}$

For this, divide:

$\frac{-8a^8b^{-2}}{10a^{-4}b^{-10}}=\frac{-8}{10}a^{8-(-4)}b^{-2-(-10)}=-\frac{4}{5}a^{12}b^8$

Your final answer is $-\frac{4}{5}a^{12}b^8$
