MCQ
For a non-zero rational number $x,$ $x^8 ÷ x^2$ is equal to:
  • A
    $x^4$
  • $x^6$
  • C
    $x^{10}$
  • D
    $x^{16}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$x^6$

We know that, if $‘a’$ is a rational number, $m$ and $n$ are natural numbers such that $m> n$, then.
$a^m ÷ a^n$
$= a^{m-n}$
So, $\text{x}\div\text{x}^{2}=\frac{\text{x}^{8}}{\text{x}^{2}}$
$=\text{x}^{8-2}=\text{x}^{6}$
