Simplify the following and leave your answer in exponential form

Question

x^15/x^-9

Answer 1

To simplify the expression, we can use the quotient rule of exponents, which states that when dividing with the same base, we subtract the exponents.

Using this rule, the expression x^15/x^-9 can be simplified as:

x^15/x^-9 = x^(15 - (-9))
= x^(15 + 9)
= x^24

Therefore, the simplified expression in exponential form is x^24.
