Question

What is p-^m divided by p^n equal to? Answers p-^m + n P-^m• n p-^m - n P-^m divided by n

Answer 1

The answer is

`{p}^( - m - n)`

Explanation:

`\frac{ {p}^( - m) }{ {p}^(n) }`

Using the rules of indices.

Since the bases are the same and are dividing we subtract the exponents

That's

`\frac{ {x}^(y) }{ {x}^(z) } = {x}^(y - z)`

So from the question we have

`\frac{ {p}^( - m) }{ {p}^(n) } = {p}^( - m - n)`

Hope this helps you
