See proof

Work Step by Step

$\ln (\frac{e^{x}}{e^{y}})=\ln (e^{x})-\ln (e^{y})= x-y=\ln (e^{x-y})$ Since $\ln$ is a one-to-one function, it follows that $\frac{e^{x}}{e^{y}}=e^{x-y}$. In the above proof, we have used two relations (or laws) which are $\ln (e^{x})=x$ and $\ln(\frac{x}{y})=\ln x-\ln y$.
