Problem 36
Question
Simplify each exponential expression. $$\frac{x^{30}}{x^{10}}$$
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
The simplified form of the given expression is \(x^{20}\)
1Step 1: Apply the Exponent Rule for Division
To simplify the expression we can use the exponent rule for division, which states that when you divide two exponentials with the same base, you subtract the exponents. For this expression, \(x^{30}/x^{10}=x^{30-10}\)
2Step 2: Subtract the Exponents
Now, subtract the smaller exponent from the larger one. So you get \(x^{20}\)
