Question

Simplify.
a3 x a9 over a4

PLEASE HELP!!! ASAP!!!

Answer 1

a⁸

Explanation:

a³*a⁹/a⁴

Product law:Says that if the base of the number being multiplied is the same, then we can add the exponents

Therefore

a to the power of 3+9/a⁴

a¹²/a⁴

Quotient law:Says that when we divide two numbers with the same base,we can subtract the exponents

Therefore

a to the power of 12-4

a⁸

Answer 2

`(\left(a^3\right)\left(a^9\right))/(a^4)=a^8`

Explanation:

`(\left(a^3\right)\left(a^9\right))/(a^4)\\\\= (a^3a^9)/(a^4)\\\\=a^3a^9\\\\=a^(3+9)\\\\=a^(12)\\\\=a^(12-4)\\=a^8`
