Question

Simplify the following by subtracting the exponents. I will give brainlist

Answer 1

Answer:

1. r^5

2. st^2

3. qr (the two "s" cancel each other out)

4. z (the x^2's and y^2's cancel each other out)

5. m (the n^2's and o's cancel each other out)

6. x

7. z^-1

8. a (the b^2's cancel each other out)

9. d^4 f^2

Step-by-step explanation:

When exponential variables are divided, the base variable stays the same, and the exponents are subtracted. For example, for #6, x^2/x^1 (x doesn't need an exponent but for the sake of explanation is ^1). We subtract the exponents and since anything "to the power of 1" will just be the base number, for example 6^1 will still be 6.
