Rewrite using a single positive exponent 9^5/9

Answer 1

9^5/9 can be rewritten as (9^5)/(9^1) since any number raised to the power of 1 is itself.

Applying the exponent rule for division, we subtract the exponents of the numerator and the denominator:

9^5/9^1 = 9^(5-1) = 9^4

Therefore, 9^5/9 can be simplified to 9^4.
