Question

12 to the 16th power over 12 to the 4th power simplified.

Answer 1

`12^(12)`

Explanation:

`(12^(16))/(12^4)\\\\(a^b)/(a^c)=a^(b-c)\\\\(12^(16))/(12^4)=12^(16-4)=\boxed{12^(12)}`

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

`12^(12)`

Explanation:

Using exponent rules, we know that:

`x^a / x^b = x^(a-b)`.

Since we are dividing
`12^(16)` by
`12^4`, then simplified, this totals out to
`12^(16-4)` or
`12^(12)`.

Hope this helped!
