Identify Equation & Apply Quotient Rule: Identify the equation and apply the quotient rule for exponents.The quotient rule states that when dividing like bases with exponents, you subtract the exponents: am/an=am−n.z9/5/z6/5=z9/5−6/5
Subtract Exponents: Subtract the exponents.Subtract the exponents by finding the difference between 59 and 56.59−56=53So, z59/z56=z53
Write Final Answer: Write the final answer.Since all exponents are positive and there are no variables in common in the numerator and denominator, the expression is already in the correct form.The final answer is z53.
