  1. Step-by-step explanation:

    No, I do not agree with the solution provided by Rakesh

    By theory of exponent we know that

    x^a/x^b = x^a-b

    ∴ x³/x² = x³-² = x¹= x not equal to x⁴

    The correct answer is x, which is justified above.

  2. Answer:

    [tex]\huge\mathfrak\purple{Answer}[/tex]

    No we don’t agree with the solutions.

    [tex]\mathfrak\pink{Reason:-}[/tex]

    In first part

    We know that

    [tex] {a}^{m} \times {a}^{n} = {a}^{m + n} [/tex]

    So according to this the answer is

    [tex] {x}^{ – 3} \times {x}^{ – 2} = {x}^{ – 3 + ( – 2)} [/tex]

    [tex] \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = x^{ – 5} [/tex]

    And in second part

    We know that

    [tex] {a}^{m} \div {a}^{n} = {a}^{m – n} [/tex]

    So according to this the ans is

    [tex] {x}^{3} \div {x}^{2} = {x}^{3 – 2} [/tex]

    [tex] \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = {x}^{1} [/tex]

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Hope this helps you.
