How To: Divide numbers with exponents

In this tutorial, we learn how to divide numbers with exponents. The quotient rule states that we can divide two powers with the same base by subtracting the exponents. With the same base, you can subtract the exponents to get something that would be the answer. For example, if you have 6(to the fourth) divided by 6(to the second), this would come to equal 6(to 4-2). This would break down to equal 6(to the second power). Once you have this, you will be able to do the math for this and figure ...

This video tutorial belongs to the Education category which is going to show you how to match exponential graphs. The video shows two graph sheets with three graphs marked A to F on each sheet and six equations. It starts off with matching the basic function, y = 2 to the power x.

How To: Simplify complex fractions with variables

In order to simplify complex variables, you must first consider the numerical values separate from the variable. In the case of 24x/48x, you would look at the numbers alone to see if they have any factors. These numbers have the number 6 in common. So, divide it by 6. This will give you 4/8. This still requires some simplification. Two is still a factor for both. So, divide it again by four. This will give you 1/2. Now, if the numerator was raised to the second power, in the original equation...
