Question
Apply the quotient rule for exponents, if possible, and write each result using only positive exponents. Assume that all variables represent nonzero real numbers. See Example $5 .$$$\frac{r^{-3}}{r^{-6}}$$
Step 1
The quotient rule states that when you divide two powers with the same base, you subtract the exponents. In other words, $a^{m}/a^{n}=a^{m-n}$. Show more…
