Answer
$\frac{1}{x^{2}}$.
Work Step by Step
The given expression is
$=\frac{x^5\cdot x}{x^8}$
$=\frac{x^5\cdot x^1}{x^8}$
Use properties of exponents $a^m \cdot a^n=a^{m+n}$.
$=\frac{x^{5+1}}{x^8}$
Simplify.
$=\frac{x^{6}}{x^8}$
Use properties of exponents $\frac{a^m}{a^n}=\frac{1}{a^{n-m}}$.
$=\frac{1}{x^{8-6}}$
Simplify.
$=\frac{1}{x^{2}}$.
