A) as the exponent decreases by one, the number is divided by 5
B) as the exponent decreases by one, the number is divided by 4
C) as the exponent decreases by one, the number is divided by 3
D) 4⁰ = 4 ÷ 4 = 1
4⁻¹ = 1 ÷ 4 = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
4⁻² = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] ÷ 4 = [tex]\frac{1}{16}[/tex]
E) 3⁰ = 3 ÷ 3 = 1
3⁻¹ = 1 ÷ 3 = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
3⁻² = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] ÷ 3 = [tex]\frac{1}{9}[/tex]
