Q. Evaluate. Write your answer as a whole number or as a simplified fraction.103105=
Apply Quotient Rule: Apply the quotient rule for exponents.The quotient rule states that when dividing like bases with exponents, you subtract the exponent in the denominator from the exponent in the numerator.So, (105)/(103) becomes 105−3.
Subtract Exponents: Perform the subtraction of the exponents. 5−3=2 So, 10(5−3) simplifies to 102.
Calculate Value: Calculate the value of 102. 102=10×10=100So, the simplest form of (105)/(103) is 100.
