Full solution

Q. Simplify. Express your answer using positive exponents.\newlineh8h7\frac{h^8}{h^7}
  1. Exponent Operation: h8/h7h^8/h^7\newlineWhat operation should we perform with the exponents, 88 and 77?\newlineWhen we divide powers with the same base, we subtract the exponents.\newlineam/an=a(mn)a^m / a^n = a^{(m-n)}
  2. Rewrite Expression: h8/h7h^8/h^7\newlineRewrite this expression as a single power of hh.\newlineSubtract the exponents.\newlineh8/h7=h87=h1h^8/h^7 = h^{8-7} = h^1\newlineSince any number to the power of 11 is the number itself, we can simplify h1h^1 to just hh.
