Identify Expression: Identify the expression to be simplified.We are given the expression an=3n7−n and need to simplify it.
Apply Exponent Laws: Apply the laws of exponents to simplify the expression.Since the expression involves powers of 3 and 7 with the same exponent but different bases, we can combine them by division as per the laws of exponents.an=7n3n
Rewrite as Single Power: Rewrite the expression as a single power with the base of the fraction.Using the property that am/bm=(a/b)m, we can rewrite the expression as:an=(73)n
