Think about the process. Simplify this expression. Assume that x and b are nonzero. Which rule(s) for exponents did you use? Expression: x⁷b¹¹/x⁷b⁷

1 answer

Simplified expression: b^4

I used the quotient rule for exponents, which states that when dividing terms with the same base, you subtract the exponents. In this case, 11 - 7 = 4.
