Question

Given f(x) = 8x^6 and g(x) = 8x^5 ,what is f(x)/g(x)?

Answer 1

Answer:

x

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rule of exponents

$\frac{a^{m} }{a^{n} }$ ⇔ $a^{(m-n)}$

Thus

$\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}$

= $\frac{8x^{6} }{8x^{5} }$ ← cancel the 8 on numerator/ denominator

= $x^{(6-5)}$

= x

Answer 2

So you have to do 8x^6 divided by 8x^5 and to divide powers you just take them away so you get 8x^1 which is 8x. Hope this helps :)
