Question

simplify.
rewrite the expression in the form $x^n$.
\\(\frac{x^6}{x^8}=\square\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Apply exponent division rule

When dividing like bases, subtract exponents: $\frac{x^a}{x^b}=x^{a-b}$
$\frac{x^6}{x^8}=x^{6-8}$

Step2: Calculate the exponent

Compute the difference of the exponents.
$x^{6-8}=x^{-2}$

Answer:

$x^{-2}$
