For a non-zero rational number p, p¹³ ÷ p⁸ is equal to
(a) p⁵
(b) p²¹
(c) p^-5
(d) p^-19

Solution:

Given, the expression is p¹³ ÷ p⁸

We have to find the value of the given expression.

Using the law of exponents,

a^m ÷ aⁿ = a^{m - n}

From the given expression,

m = 13

n = 8

Now, m - n = 13 - 8

= 5

Therefore, p¹³ ÷ p⁸ is equal to p⁵.
