Question

What is the quotient?

Answer 1

The answer is -343

Explanation:

We just need to divide both numbers and find the result

(-7)^2 / (-7)^-1

(-7)^(2-(-1)) =

(-7)^(2+1) =

(-7)^(3) =

(-7)*(-7)*(-7) = (49)*(-7) = -343

Answer 2

Answer: FIRST OPTION

Explanation:

According the quotient of powers property, when you have the division of two powers with the same base, then you must subtract the exponents.

Therefore, keeping the property above on mind, you have that the quotient is the shown below:

`((-7)^2)/((-7)^(-1))=(-7)^((2-(-1)))=(-7)^((2+1))=(-7)^3=-343`
