Question

60 POINTS PLS HELP!!

8 to the 3rd power over 8 rewritten using using a single positive exponent
`(8^(3) )/(8)`

Answer 1

it is 8^2.

Explanation:

8 ^ 3 = 8 x 8 x 8

8^3/8 = 8 x 8 x 8 / 8

you cross one 8 on the bottom and the top which leaves you with 8 x 8 or 8^2

Answer 2

Solution given:

single positive exponent

`(8^(3) )/(8)=8^(3-1)=8²`

single positive exponent is 8².

Note:

we have

`(x^(a))/(x^(b))=x^(a-b)`
