Simplify 3^5/3^2. i do have a basic understanding but i need on this.

The answer is:  " 27 " .


3⁵ / 3² = 3⁽⁵⁻²⁾ = 3³ = 3 * 3 * 3 = 9 * 3 = 27 .

-Edit -- Note the following property of exponents :  "quotient rule" of exponents:

Given that "a" and "b" are positive integers; and that "x" is a real number greater than "zero"; 

  If a ≥ b ,  then:

   xᵃ /xᵇ = x⁽ᵃ ⁻ ᵇ⁾ ;

If a < b , then:

xᵃ /xᵇ = x⁽ᵇ ⁻ ᵃ⁾
