Question

Simplify 12 to the power of 3 over 12 to the power of 7

A). 12 to the power of 4
B). 12 to the power of 10
C). 1 over 12 to the power of 4
D). 1 over 12 to the power of -4

Answer 1

The correct answer I think is D

Explanation:

The explanation of the other person is right, but you do 3-7, which gives u -4

Answer 2

C; subtract the exponents. Since 12 to the power of 7 is bigger, then u subtract the 3 from the seven and keep the 12 to the power of 4 on the bottom with a one on the top.
