Question

PLSSSS HELP IF YOU TRULY KNOW THISSSS

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

Given:

12^8 ÷ 12^4

To find:

The exponent.

We know ÷ = Reciprocal of the corresponding number

To find, we use law of indices, which says:

• a^b/a^c = a^(b-c)

This says if we have a common base,here 12, then subtract the exponent on numerator and denominator to get the actual result.

Hence here a = 12, b = 8, c = 4.

So,

• 12^8/12^4 = 12^(8-4) = 12^4

Hence,the missing exponent = 4
