what is the missing number in this simplified exponential expression h^450 divided by h^? = h^215

1 answer

To find the missing number, you can use the properties of exponents. Specifically, when dividing exponents with the same base, you subtract the exponents.

In this case, the simplified exponential expression is:

h^450 / h^x = h^215

To solve for the missing exponent x, you need to equate the exponents:

450 - x = 215

Now, solve for x:

450 - 215 = x
x = 235

Therefore, the missing number in the simplified exponential expression is 235.
