Answer 2

Okay, so the answer is a10b4. Take a look at the attachment to see how I got that answer.
The explanation: when you have a fraction where the base is the same variable (here it is a) and they have a certain exponent, you can simply subtract the exponents, just like I did here: a12/a2 = a12-2 = a10.
