divide. leaving the answer in exponent form. assume that all variables in any denominator are nonzero?

Question

s^8t^14/s^2t
a)s^6t^12
b)s^10t^15
c)s^6t^14
d)s^6t^13

Answer 1

Use the property a^x / a^y = a^(x-y).

Then s^8 / s^2 = s^6, and t^14 / t = t^13.

Therefore, the answer is choice d.

Answer 2

hi, To get the respond subtract exponents on the comparable variables, precise exponent minus the backside exponent. this gives you s^2t^8, as a results of fact s^4/s^2 is s^(4 - 2) = s^2 and t^9/t = t^(9 - a million) = t^8. s^2t^8 <== answer i'm hoping that helps!! :-)

Answer 3

The answer is d : s^6t^13

Answer 4

D
