Title: How do i divide exponents over exponents such as 3 to the sixteenth power over 3 to the eighth power? Post by: tony123 on Feb 27, 2013 Problems like 3^16 with a fraction sign under it. over 3 to the 8th power
3^8 It says to find the quotient, how do i do this? Title: How do i divide exponents over exponents such as 3 to the sixteenth power over 3 to the eighth power? Post by: tony1995 on Feb 27, 2013 (a^n)/(a^m) = a^(n-m)
so 3^16 / 3^8 = 3 ^ (16-8) = 3^8 = 6561 Title: How do i divide exponents over exponents such as 3 to the sixteenth power over 3 to the eighth power? Post by: tony1995 on Feb 27, 2013 imma assume you mean exponent laws. when dividing exponents(fraction sign) simply subtract the exponents. making the answer 3 to the power of 8. (16 - 8)
