Q. Select the equivalent expression.\newlinex8x4x4 \frac{x^{8}}{x^{4} \cdot x^{4}} \newline1x8 \frac{1}{x^{8}} \newlinex8 x^{8} \newline11\newlinex x
  1. Understand the problem: Understand the problem.\newlineWe need to simplify the expression (x8)/(x4x4)(x^{8})/(x^{4}\cdot x^{4}) to find its equivalent form.
  2. Apply exponent rule for division: Apply the exponent rule for division.\newlineWhen dividing like bases with exponents, we subtract the exponents: am/an=amna^{m}/a^{n} = a^{m-n}.
  3. Apply exponent rule for multiplication: Apply the exponent rule for multiplication. When multiplying like bases with exponents, we add the exponents: am×an=am+na^{m} \times a^{n} = a^{m+n}.
  4. Simplify the denominator: Simplify the denominator using the multiplication rule from Step 33. x4×x4=x4+4=x8.x^{4}\times x^{4} = x^{4+4} = x^{8}.
  5. Apply division rule: Apply the division rule from Step 22 to the original expression.\newline(x8)/(x8)=x88=x0(x^{8})/(x^{8}) = x^{8-8} = x^{0}.
  6. Recall power of zero: Recall that any non-zero number raised to the power of 00 is 11.\newlinex0=1x^{0} = 1.
