Question

What is the value of the expression $\frac{a^m}{a^n}$ ?

• A. a^mn
• B. a^m/n
• C. a^m+n
• D. a^m-n

Answer 1

The correct option is D

a^m-n

We know that when we operate with exponents, we consider only the powers and the operator between the two numbers like in this case, the base is same, i.e., $a$, so, if we divide $a^m$ and $a^n$, we get $a^{m-n}$.
