Answer:

options:  A,C,E are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the expression equivalent to the expression:

[tex]\dfrac{21^x}{3^x}[/tex]

we know that: [tex]21^x=(3\times7)^x\\\\21^x=3^x\times7^x[/tex]

Hence,

[tex]\dfrac{21^x}{3^x}=\dfrac{3^x\times7^x}{3^x}=7^x[/tex]-----(1)

A)   [tex](\dfrac{21}{3})^x= 7^x[/tex]  (same as(1))

Hence, option A is correct.

B)  7 ; which is a different expression from (1)

Option B is incorrect.

C) [tex]7^x[/tex]   (Same as (1))

Option C is correct.

D) [tex](21-3)^x=18^x[/tex]   which is a different expression from (1)

Hence, option D is incorrect.

E) [tex]\dfrac{7^x\times3^x}{3^x}=7^x[/tex]   ; which is same as (1)

Hence, Option E is correct.

F) [tex]3^x[/tex]  ; which is not same as expression (1)

Hence, option F is incorrect.

Answer:

(A), (C) and (E)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is:

[tex]\frac{21^x}{3^x}[/tex]

(A) The expression is:

[tex](\frac{21}{3})^x[/tex]

Now, this expression can be written as:

[tex]\frac{21^x}{3^x}[/tex]

which is equivalent to the given expression, thus this option is correct.

(B) The expression is:

[tex]7[/tex]

The above given expression that is [tex]\frac{21^x}{3^x}[/tex] can be written as:

[tex]\frac{(7\times3)^x}{3^x}=7^x[/tex] which is not equivalent, thus this option is incorrect.

(C) The given expression is:

[tex]7^x[/tex]

The above given expression that is [tex]\frac{21^x}{3^x}[/tex] can be written as:

[tex]\frac{(7\times3)^x}{3^x}=7^x[/tex] which is equivalent, thus this option is correct.

(D) The given expression is:

[tex](21-3)^x[/tex]

which can be solved as [tex]18^x[/tex] which is not equivalent to the given expression, therefore this option is incorrect.

(E) The given expression is:

[tex]\frac{7^x\times3^x}{3^x}[/tex]

which can be written as:

[tex]\frac{21^x}{3^x}[/tex] which is equivalent to the given expression, thus this option is correct.

(F) The given expression is:

[tex]3^x[/tex]

which is not equivalent to the given expression, thus this option is incorrect.
