Answer 1

Answer:

$a^{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the mathematical expression;

a⁸/a³

To rewrite the expression in the form $a^{m}$

We would have to apply the law of indices.

$Law \; of \; division = \frac {a^{x}}{a^{y}} = a^{x - y}$

$Law \; of \; division = \frac {a^{8}}{a^{3}} = a^{8 - 3}$

$a^{m} = a^{8 - 3} = a^{5}$
