Question

Divide x to the 1 half power divided by x to the 2 sevenths power.

Answer 1

$\frac{x^\frac{1}{2} }{x^\frac{2}{7}}$

According to the rule of exponents $\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{(m-n)}$ , i.e. when two terms are in division with same base , we subtract the exponents

So

$\frac{x^\frac{1}{2} }{x^\frac{2}{7}} = x^{(\frac{1}{2}) - (\frac{2}{7})}$

$=x^\frac{3}{14}$

Or

x to the 3 fourteenths power
