Answer:
8^5 Disclaimer this is not the complete simplification. (see below)
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify the following:
8^10/8^5
Hint: | For all exponents, a^n/a^m = a^(n - m). Apply this to 8^10/8^5.
Combine powers. 8^10/8^5 = 8^(10 - 5):
8^(10 - 5)
Hint: | Subtract 5 from 10.
10 - 5 = 5:
8^5
Hint: | Compute 8^5 by repeated squaring. For example a^7 = a a^6 = a (a^3)^2 = a (a a^2)^2.
8^5 = 8×8^4 = 8 (8^2)^2:
8 (8^2)^2
Hint: | Evaluate 8^2.
8^2 = 64:
8×64^2
Hint: | Evaluate 64^2.
