Question

Can anyone help me with this one? i don't understand this worksheet at all.

Answer 1

12^-6/12^7


When dividing the only thing you do is subtract the exponents from each other.

-6-7

In this case, you have to subtract a number from a negative. -6-7 would actually be -6+-7.

-6+-7= -13

12^-13 is the final answer
