what is the missing exponet n^365/ n^? =n^152

1 answer

To solve for the missing exponent in the equation \( \frac{n^{365}}{n^?} = n^{152} \), we can use the properties of exponents.

According to the properties of exponents:

\[ \frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n} \]

Applying this to our equation, we have:

\[ \frac{n^{365}}{n^?} = n^{365 - ?} \]

Setting this equal to \( n^{152} \):

\[ n^{365 - ?} = n^{152} \]

Since the bases are the same, we can set the exponents equal to each other:

\[ 365 - ? = 152 \]

Now, we can solve for \( ? \):

\[ 365 - 152 = ? \]

Calculating the left side:

\[ ? = 365 - 152 = 213 \]

Thus, the missing exponent is:

\[ ? = 213 \]
