Answer 2

The answer is that 36a⁴/b² is 0.

Explanation:

Let's simplify the expression given to us, this way:

3a^2b^-4/12a^-2b^-2

3a²b⁻⁴ ÷ 12a⁻²b⁻²

3a²/b⁴ ÷ 1/12a²b²

3a²/b⁴ * 12a²b²/1

36a⁴/b²

But let's recall that if a = 0 and b = 0, then we have:

36 * 0⁴ / 0² = 0

The answer is that 36a⁴/b² is 0.
