Respuesta :

When you divide you subtract exponents....so a^2

Answer:

The answer is [tex]a^{2}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{a^{5} }{a^{3} }[/tex]

when we divide exponents that have the same base, we subtract the powers and keep the base same.

So, this given fraction will become:

[tex]a^{5-3}[/tex]

=> [tex]a^{2}[/tex]

Or in more simpler terms we can write this off as:

[tex]\frac{a*a*a*a*a}{a*a*a}[/tex]

So, we are left with [tex]a*a=a^{2}[/tex]
