Ineed asap and ! explain how the quotient of powers property was used to simplify the expression 2 to the 5th power /8 = 2 to the second power
a . by finding the quotient of the bases to be 1/4 and canceling common factors
b. by finding the quotient of the bases to be 1/4 and simplifying the expression
c. by simplifying 8 to 2 to the third power to make both powers base two and subtracting the exponents
d. by simplifying 8 to the 2 of the third power to make both powers base two and adding exponents .
