Introduction Let us write the exponential form of exponents with same powers a4÷b4 Bases : a, b Powers : = 4 Expanding a4 a x a x a x a a has multiplied itself 4times Expanding b4 b x b x b x b b has multiplied itself 4 times So, x x x = Power is same Exponential form of a4÷b4 = Bases are different
Same Power and Different Bases Dividing Powers with Same Exponents For any non-zero integers ‘a’ and ‘b’, where ‘m’ is whole number, we can define Power of Quotient Rule as, Power is same am÷bm = = Bases are different where a, b = bases , m =power Apply this rule to divide exponents if the exponents are same
Dividing powers having same exponents – Positive powers Example 1:- Write the exponential form of: Solution = 26 ÷ 56 Step 1: Powers are same is in the form Apply power of quotient rule am÷bm = = Bases : a = 2, b = 5Power : m = 6 26 ÷ 56 = = So, exponential form of = Ans:
Dividing powers having same exponents – Negative powers Example 2:- Write the exponential form of: Solution = -13 ÷ 93 Step 1: Powers are same is in the form Apply power of quotient rule am÷bm = = Bases : a = -1, b = 9Power : m = 3 -13 ÷ 93 = = So, exponential form of = Ans:
Dividing powers having same exponents – Negative powers Example 3:- Write the exponential form of: Solution = 37 ÷ (-7)7 Step 1: Powers are same is in the form Apply power of quotient rule am÷bm = = Bases : a = 3, b = -7Power : m = 7 37 ÷-77 = = = So, exponential form of Ans:
Dividing powers having same exponents – Positive powers Example 4:- Write the exponential form of: Solution = 33 ÷ 83 Step 1: Powers are same is in the form Apply power of quotient rule am÷bm = = Bases : a = 3, b = 8Power : m = 3 33 ÷83 = = So, exponential form of = Ans:
