Exponents - Division Answer First - Positive by Positive to Negative (Level 2)

This math topic focuses on mastering the division of exponents, specifically how division results in positive or negative exponents. It involves determining which division expressions result in a given negative exponent expression. Each problem presents different divisions of variables raised to various powers, and the goal is to identify the division that yields a specific negative exponent indicated by the problem. This is a fundamental concept in understanding the rules of exponents, particularly in dividing powers with the same base.
