Help meeeee please and thank you

Answer 1

Answer:

Whenever you divide two terms with the same base, you keep the base and subtract the exponents.

Example:

x³ / x⁷ = x³⁻⁷ = x⁻⁴ = 1 / x⁴

or

8¹³ / 8⁶ = 8¹³⁻⁶ = 8⁷

Whenever you multiply two terms with the same base, you keep the base and add the exponents.

Example:

x³ × x⁷ = x³⁺⁷ = x¹⁰

or

12⁻⁵ × 12⁹ = 12⁻⁵⁺⁹ = 12⁹⁻⁵ = 12⁴
