Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the value of (x^3) / (x^2) when x = 2?
  • Step 1: Write down the expression (x^3) / (x^2).
  • Step 2: Use the property of indices that says (a^m) / (a^n) = a^(m-n).
  • Step 3: Apply this property to the expression: (x^3) / (x^2) = x^(3-2).
  • Step 4: Simplify the exponent: 3 - 2 = 1, so (x^3) / (x^2) = x^1.
  • Step 5: Now substitute x = 2 into the simplified expression: x^1 = 2^1.
  • Step 6: Calculate 2^1, which equals 2.
