Math Problem Statement

6.Quotient Rule: Evaluate (x^7)/(x^4).

Solution

To evaluate x7x4\frac{x^7}{x^4} using the Quotient Rule, follow these steps:

Quotient Rule for Exponents:

xaxb=xab\frac{x^a}{x^b} = x^{a-b} where aa and bb are exponents.

In this case: x7x4=x74=x3\frac{x^7}{x^4} = x^{7-4} = x^3

Final Answer:

x7x4=x3\frac{x^7}{x^4} = x^3
