2. Simplify and give the answer in exponential form: a. (3)^5 ÷ (3)^6
Added by Craig H.
Step 1
So: (3)^5 ÷ (3)^6 = 3^(5-6) = 3^(-1) Now, we can simplify 3^(-1) by using another rule of exponents that says that any number raised to a negative exponent is equal to 1 divided by that number raised to the positive exponent. So: 3^(-1) = 1/3^1 Show more…
