Examples with solutions for Power of a Quotient Rule for Exponents: Variables in the exponent of the power

Exercise #1

Solve the following:

axya3xya2xy \frac{a^{xy}}{a^{3xy}}-a^{2xy}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Keep in mind that in the question there is a fraction containing identical terms in its numerator and denominator. Therefore, we can use the distributive property of division to solve the exercise:

cmcn=cmn \frac{c^m}{c^n}=c^{m-n}
We apply this to our problem and simplify the first term:

axya3xya2xy=axy3xya2xy=a2xya2xy \frac{a^{xy}}{a^{3xy}}-a^{2xy}=a^{xy-3xy}-a^{2xy}=a^{-2xy}-a^{2xy}

In the second step, calculate the result of the subtraction operation in the exponent to obtain:

a2xya2xy a^{-2xy}-a^{2xy}

Therefore, the correct answer is D.

Answer

a2xya2xy a^{-2xy}-a^{2xy}
