Combine Exponents: Combine the exponents in the numerator using the product rule for exponents.The product rule states that when you multiply two powers with the same base, you add the exponents.So, x6×x7 becomes x6+7.Calculation: 6+7=13
Apply Quotient Rule: Apply the quotient rule for exponents to divide the powers of x. The quotient rule states that when you divide two powers with the same base, you subtract the exponents. So, (x13)/(x−8) becomes x13−(−8). Calculation: 13−(−8)=13+8=21
Write Final Expression: Write the final simplified expression.The expression x13−(−8) simplifies to x21.
