(x + y)^2 / (x + y)^8 has a base and exponent of
- (x + y)^10.
- (x + y)^-6.
- (x + y)^1/4
Explanation
Dividing powers with the same base subtracts exponents: (x + y)^2 / (x + y)^8 = (x + y)^(2-8) = (x + y)^-6.

Yes, here is a mistake, in question should be division instead of multiplication. Question corrected.

X+Y^2/
X+Y^8
=^2-^8
Or ^-6
X+Y^8
=^2-^8
Or ^-6
