Power of a Quotient
When the elements of a quotient have exponents and the quotient is raised to a power, then the power multiplies the exponent of each element in the quotient.
Power of a Quotient Rule : .
Example 1
Simplify the expression: .
Step 1. Use the Power of a Quotient Rule.
Step 2. Use the Power of a Power Rule to simplify the resulting expression.
Step 3. If the bases are the same, use the Quotient of a Power Rule for Exponents to simplify the resulting expression.
