Question

Multiply or divide as indicated x^-8/x^-7

Answer 1

Answer:

1/x

Step-by-step explanation:

When we divide exponents with the same base, we subtract the exponents

a^b/ a^c = a^(b-c)

x^-8/x^-7

x^(-8- -7)

x^ (-8+7)

x^ -1

Remember that negative exponents take it from the numerator to the denominator.

1/x
