Using the Quotient Rule of Exponents, what is the exponent of 3^9 ÷ 3^7 when it is in exponential simplest form?(1 point)

Answer 1

To simplify the expression $3^9÷3^7$ using the Quotient Rule of Exponents, we can apply the rule which states that $a^m÷a^n=a^{m-n}$.

In this case:

• $a=3$
• $m=9$
• $n=7$

Applying the rule:

$$3^9÷3^7=3^{9-7}=3^2$$

Thus, the exponent in the exponential simplest form is $2$.
