Answer:
[tex] a^{5} [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the mathematical expression;
a⁸/a³
To rewrite the expression in the form [tex] a^{m} [/tex]
We would have to apply the law of indices.
[tex] Law \; of \; division = \frac {a^{x}}{a^{y}} = a^{x - y} [/tex]
[tex] Law \; of \; division = \frac {a^{8}}{a^{3}} = a^{8 - 3} [/tex]
[tex] a^{m} = a^{8 - 3} = a^{5} [/tex]
