RULES FOR DIVISION OF ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSION

RULES FOR DIVISION OF ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSION

As we all know that, a⁵ = a X a X a X a X a  and  a = a X a X a

                              a X a X a X a X a

If we divide, a⁵ ÷ a = --------------------- = a⁵⁻ =  a X a =  a² 

                                  a X a X a

above process is applicable for any of the divide expression, if we generalize then we find –

 

aᵐ ÷ aⁿ = aᵐ⁻ⁿ

when,  aᵐ ÷ aᵐ = aᵐ⁻ᵐ = a⁰ = 1

(+) ÷ (+) = (+), 

(+) ÷ (-) = (-), 

(-) ÷ (+) = (-)

(-) ÷ (-) = (+)
