The reason is because you get the same answer, if you take x^3 divided by x^2 you will get x^1 which is x. An example, allow x to be 2, 2^3=8 2^2=4. 8 divided by 4 is 2, which x is, in the example. If you are looking for a more in depth answer, the reason why it works is because exponents are basically multiplications, as you should know, so 2X2X2 when divided by 2X2 is like taking two 2's out of the equation leaving you with 2 or x, as in the example. Again, 2^3 is basically 2X2X2, so if you are dividing by 2^2, 2X2, cross out the numbers, and you are left with one two, the answer, from the example.

What does math term madspm stand for?
Multiply-Add Divide-Subtract Power-MultiplyIt's the rule for exponents.If the bases are the same and they're...- multiplied; add the exponents. 22(23) = 25- divided; subtract the exponents (36/34) = 32- raised to a power; multiply the exponents (42)4 = 48
Can divide powers with the same base by subtracting the exponents?
Yes, you can subtract the exponents, for example 5^3/5^2 = 5^3-2 = 5^1 Thats the same as 125/25 = 5
What is the first operation in math?
it goes parenthesis exponents, multiply and divide from left to right then add and subtract from left to right remember it by saying the word PEMDAS
