MCQ
For a non-zero rational number $p, p^{13} \div p^8$ is equal to:
  • $p^5$
  • B
    $p^{21}$
  • C
    $p^{-5}$
  • D
    $p^{-19}$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$p^5$
A.  $p^{5}$
Solution:
Using law of exponents, $a^m \div a^n = (a)^{m-n}$ [$\because$ a is non-zero integer]
Similarly
$p^{13} \div p^8 = (p)^{13-8}$
=$p^{5}$
