Given f(x) = 8x^6 and g(x) = 8x^5 ,what is f(x)/g(x)?

Answer:
x
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the rule of exponents
[tex]\frac{a^{m} }{a^{n} }[/tex] ⇔ [tex]a^{(m-n)}[/tex]
Thus
[tex]\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{8x^{6} }{8x^{5} }[/tex] ← cancel the 8 on numerator/ denominator
= [tex]x^{(6-5)}[/tex]
= x
