Communicate Mathematical Ideas Why do you subtract exponents

Mathematics
1 answer:
zysi [14]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

We subtract exponents when diving powers with the same base because they eventually get canceled out when written in expanded form.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, if we expand the given fractions:

10^3/10^1 = 1000/10 = 100 = 10^2

Now, if we subtract the exponents we get the same result.

10^3-1 = 10^2

So, a^m/a^n = a^m-

n is one of the exponent rules which saves time and makes calculation easier.

So by SSA they are similar

In ∆PRQ and rest two

All angles are.
