Question

Simplify. x 3 ÷ x 5 x2 x8 x-8 x-2

Answer 1

Answer: Last Option

$\frac{x^3}{x^5}=x^{-2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following expression:

x³ ÷ x⁵

This is:

$\frac{x^3}{x^5}$

To simplify the expression, use the power division of the same base property

Remember that:

$\frac{x^m}{x^n}=x^{m-n}$

Then we have that:

$\frac{x^3}{x^5}=x^{3-5}$

                      ↓

$x^{3-5}=x^{-2}$

Finally:

$\frac{x^3}{x^5}=x^{-2}$

The answer is the last option

Answer 2

Answer:

x^-2= 1/x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

x^3/x^5= x^(3-5)=x^(-2)= 1/x^2
