How do you find the quotient #10^10div10^2#?

Answer 1

Genesis Allen

See the entire solution process below:

First, we can rewrite this expression as:

#10^10/10^2#

Next we can use this rule of exponents to simplify this expression:

#x^color(red)(a)/x^color(blue)(b) = x^(color(red)(a)-color(blue)(b))#

#10^color(red)(10)/10^color(blue)(2) = 10^(color(red)(10)-color(blue)(2)) = 10^8 = 100,000,000#

To find the quotient of (10^{10}) divided by (10^2), you subtract the exponents: (10^{10-2} = 10^8).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
