The missing exponent is 325.
Can you further explain how you got the answer.
Certainly! In the given equation, we have:

s^500 / s^? = s^175

To simplify this equation, we need to apply the exponent rule for division. According to the rule, when we divide two terms with the same base, we subtract the exponents. In this case, we have:

s^(500 - ?) = s^175

To determine the value of the missing exponent, we should equate the exponents. So we have:

500 - ? = 175

To solve for ?, we can subtract 500 from both sides:

500 - 500 - ? = 175 - 500
-? = -325

Finally, we can multiply both sides by -1 to solve for ?:

-1 * -? = -1 * -325
? = 325

Therefore, the missing exponent in the equation is 325.
