Simplify a5 divided by a3

a^2

Step-by-step explanation:

a^5  / a^3

We know that x^y / x^z = x^ ( y-x)

a^ ( 5-3) = a^ 2

a squared OR a2 OR a^2

Step-by-step explanation:

So we need to remember that numbers and exponents are different. When we divide a5 by a3, we subtract 3 from 5. That gives us 2. So the exponent is 2 and the answer is a2. I hope this helped! :)

the answer is 8/21
