Question

Which expression is equivalent to a to the power of m divided by a to the n power

Answer 1

Answer:

$a^{m-n}$

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have the expression $m^a \div m^n$, we can use exponent rules to simplify this.

Exponent rules say that $x^a \div x^b = x^{a-b}$. In this case, x is a, a is m and b is n, so the same rule applied here.

So  $a^m \div a^n$ will be equal to $a^{m-n}$.
