{a}^(12) {b}^( - 9) \ \: {c}^( - 6)what is the answer ?

Question

`{a}^(12) {b}^( - 9) \ \: {c}^( - 6)`what is the answer ?

Answer 1

We have the following expression:

`(a^(12)b^(-9))(c^(-6))/(\square)`

Now let's recall two properties of the exponents that will help to solve this exercise:

`x^(-1)=\text{ }(1)/(x)\Rightarrow4^{-3\text{ }}=\text{ }(1)/(4^3)`

Then we have:

`a^(12)c^6/b^9`

Now, we have all the exponents with positive sign

The base of the exponents is different (a,b and c), therefore there is no additional step we can take
