Question

Simplify 11 to the negative 4th power over 11 to the 8th power

Answer 1

its 1/11 to the 12 power

Answer 2

`11^(-12)`

Explanation:

what you have is the following expression:

`(11^(-4))/(11^(8))`

You can aply the rule for division of powers having the same base. It says that you must left the base and substract the exponents. So it follows

`(11^(-4))/(11^(8))= 11^(-4 -8)= 11^(-12)`
