Answer: OPTION C.

Explanation:

According to the Quotient of powers Property, if you divide two numbers whose base is the same, you must rewrite the base and subtract the exponents. Observe:


(a^m)/(a^n)=a^((m-n))

Notice that "a" is the base and "m" and "n" are the exponents.

Therefore, knowing this property, you can solve the exercise.

Given the following expression:


(3^(15))/(3^3)

You can notice that the base 3 is in the numerator and in the denominator, then you must apply the Quotient of powers Property and subtract the exponents.

You get that the result is:


=3^((15-3))=3^(12)
