Answer:

[tex]\dfrac{1}{6^8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\dfrac{6^{-3}}{6^5}=\dfrac{1}{6^{5+3}}=\dfrac{1}{6^8}[/tex]

___

The applicable rules of exponents are ...

[tex]a^{-b}=\dfrac{1}{a^b}\\\\a^b\times a^c=a^{b+c}[/tex]

Answer:

The simplified expression is given by:

                 1 over 6 to the 8th power.

                      [tex]\dfrac{1}{6^8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to simplify the expression:

6 to the negative 3rd power over 6 to the 5th power.

which is mathematically written as:

[tex]\dfrac{6^{-3}}{6^5}[/tex]

Now, we know that:

[tex]\dfrac{a^m}{a^n}=\dfrac{1}{a^{n-m}}[/tex]

Here,

[tex]m=-3\ and\ n=5[/tex]

Hence, we get:

[tex]\dfrac{6^{-3}}{6^5}=\dfrac{1}{6^{5-(-3)}}[/tex]

i.e.

[tex]\dfrac{6^{-3}}{6^5}=\dfrac{1}{6^{5+3}}[/tex]

Hence, we get the simplified expression as follows:

[tex]\dfrac{6^{-3}}{6^5}=\dfrac{1}{6^8}[/tex]
