Identify Base and Exponents: Identify the base and the exponents in the expression.In the expression (x8)/(x3), the base is x, the exponent in the numerator is 8, and the exponent in the denominator is 3.
Apply Quotient Rule: Apply the quotient rule for exponents.The quotient rule states that when dividing like bases, you subtract the exponents: xa/xb=xa−b.So, (x8)/(x3)=x8−3.
Perform Subtraction: Perform the subtraction of the exponents. x(8−3)=x5.
Write Final Expression: Write the final simplified expression.The expression (x8)/(x3) simplifies to x5.
