missing exponent in the following equation? e?/e65 = e38

1 answer

To find the missing exponent, we can use the property of exponents that states: when dividing exponential terms with the same base, subtract the exponents.

In the given equation, e?/e65 = e38, we have the same base (e) on both sides of the equation. Therefore, we subtract the exponents:

? - 65 = 38

To solve for ?, we can add 65 to both sides of the equation:

? = 38 + 65

? = 103

So, the missing exponent is 103.
