Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When we divide two powers with the same base, we subtract the exponents. In this case, we have $(11x)^{16}$ divided by itself, so the exponent of both the numerator and denominator are 16. Therefore, we have $\frac{(11x)^{16}}{(11x)^{16}} = 1$.

Divide and Simplify (11x)16(11x)16\frac { ( 11 x ) ^ { 16 } } { ( 11 x ) ^ { 16 } }(11x)16(11x)16​
