Question

Which exponential expression represents the numerical expression 1 12 ⋅ 1 12 ⋅ 1 12 ⋅ 1 12 A. (12) ^4 B. ( 1 12) ^3 C. (12) ^3 D. (1 12) ^4

Answer 1

Hello!

The correct answer is D. (1/12)^4. Because when you put a number to a power, you're multiplying that number by itself. (i.e. 2^2 = 4.)

Hope this helps! ☺♥

Answer 2

D. (1 12) ^4

Explanation:

Remember that according to the laws of the exponents, exponents with similar bases that are being multiplied are added up togheter so if you have:

`(1)/(12) *(1)/(12) *(1)/(12) *(1)/(12)`

You can see that when there is no exponent that means the exponent is 1, so we add four 1´s, 1+1+1+1=4

So the answer would be:

`((1)/(12)) ^(4)`
