Question

A^12b^7/a^9b^
Someone help me find the answer please

Answer 1

`a^(3)` *
`b^(2)`

Explanation:

`(a^(12) * b^(7) )/(a^(9) * b^(5) )`

Divide the equation (split the equation into parts), to show like terms;

`(a^(12) )/(a^(9) )` *
`(b^(7) )/(b^(5) )`

Since dividing two numbers with exponents,( that have the same base), is equivalent to subtracting the exponents and retaining the base, hence:

`a^(3)` *
`b^(2)`
