Think about the process. Simplify this expression. Assume the c and y are nonzero. Which rule(s) for exponents did you use? c⁹y¹⁸/c⁹y⁹

Question

A. Zero exponent property
B. Power of a quotient
C. Power of a product
D. Dividing powers with the same base
E. Power of a power
F. Multiplying powers with the same base
Select all that apply.

Answer 1

D. Dividing powers with the same base

The expression simplifies to y^9 because when dividing powers with the same base, you subtract the exponents. In this case, 18-9=9.
