Question 33081: im doing "zero and negaive exponents"...
in need to "use the quotient of powers property to simplify the expression."
1. 5^6/5^3


this is one i did, i dont know if its right
ex.
m^5/m^11= 1/m^-6= m^5+m^6/m^11= 1

When you divide, you should subtract exponents. The rule is x^a/x^b = x^a-b

Therefore, 5^6/5^3 = 5^6-3 = 5^3
