An exponent is a number that indicates how many times to multiply the base by itself. For example, in $$2^3$$ , 2 is the base and 3 is the exponent, meaning $$2 \times 2 \times 2$$ .

What happens when an exponent is negative?

A negative exponent indicates the reciprocal of the base raised to the opposite positive exponent. For example, $$a^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n}$$ .

If $$h^8 / h^3$$ , what do you do with the exponents?

You subtract the exponents: $$h^{8-3} = h^5$$ .

What is the simplified form of $$\frac{b^3}{7a^5}$$ ?

$$\frac{b^3}{7a^5}$$ is already in its simplest form.
