Question

Divide. 4^2.4^6 O 4-3 O 4^3 O 4-4 O 4^4 The answer is C, 4^4

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

no, the answer is definitely NOT 4⁴.

4² is smaller than 4⁶, right ?

so, 4²/4⁶ must be smaller than 1.

remember, what we do with exponents when we multiply terms ? we add the exponents.

like 4²×4⁶ = 4⁸

and when we divide terms ? we subtract the exponents.

4²/4⁶ =

${4}^{ - 4}$

because 2 - 6 = -4
