Applying the quotient rule of exponents. What is an equivalent form of 6⁹ ÷ 6⁵? Answer with a whole number for the exponent?

Answer 1

When applying the quotient rule of exponents, we subtract the exponents. Thus, an equivalent form of 6⁹ ÷ 6⁵ can be expressed as 6^(9-5). Simplifying the exponent, we have 6^4. So, an equivalent form of 6⁹ ÷ 6⁵ is 6^4.
