Explanation:


{ ({4}^( - 4) )}^(3) \\ = {4}^( - 12)


\frac{ {4}^(15) }{ {4}^(5) } \\ = {4}^(10)


{4}^( - 5) * {4}^( - 4) \\ = {4}^( - 9)


\frac{1}{ {4}^( - 12) } \\ = {4}^(12)

least to greatest


1)\: {4}^( - 12) \\ 2) \: {4}^( - 9) \\ 3) \: {4}^(10 ) \\ 4) \: {4}^(12)

Ordering the expressions from least to greatest: 1.
\( 4^(-9) \), 2.
\( 4^(-12) \), 3.
\( (4^(10))/(4^(-9)) \), 4.
\( 4^(12) \)

Let's simplify each expression to compare them:

1.
\( (4^(-4))^3 \) can be simplified by multiplying the exponents:
\( 4^(-12) \).

2.
\( (4^(15))/(4^5) \) can be simplified by subtracting the exponents in the denominator from the exponents in the numerator:
\( 4^(15-5) = 4^(10) \).

3.
\( 4^(-4) \cdot 4^(-5) \) can be simplified by adding the exponents:
\( 4^(-9) \).

4.
\( (1)/(4^(-12)) \) can be simplified by changing the reciprocal and sign of the exponent:
\( 4^(12) \).

Now, let's order them from least to greatest:

1.
\( 4^(-9) \)

2.
\( 4^(-12) \)

3.
\( (4^(10))/(4^(-9)) \)

4.
\( 4^(12) \)
