Apply Quotient Rule: To simplify the expression x6/x8, we use the quotient rule for exponents which states that when dividing like bases, we subtract the exponents.Calculation: x6/x8=x6−8=x−2
Simplify Negative Exponent: Since x−2 is not in simplified form, we express it as a positive exponent by taking the reciprocal of x2.Calculation: x−2=x21
