This math topic focuses on practicing division of exponential terms involving positive exponents. Each problem presents an expression where a variable raised to a higher exponent is divided by the same variable raised to a lower exponent. Students must simplify these expressions to find the correct resultant exponent. The topic is designed to help learners understand the rule when dividing like bases with exponents, emphasizing that the exponents should be subtracted (power of the numerator minus the power of the denominator). Learners are provided with multiple choice answers for each question where they need to select the correct simplified form.
