Zero-Exponent Rule: a0 = 1, this says that anything raised to the zero power is 1. ... Negative Exponent Rule: , this says that negative exponents in the numerator get moved to the denominator and become positive exponents. Negative exponents in the denominator get moved to the numerator and become positive exponents.
Hello there!
Keep in mind that everything to the power of 0 equals 1.
So
Hope this helps and have a fantastic day! :)

Answer:
(a - 3) • (a - 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
The first term is, a2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, -7a its coefficient is -7 .
The last term, "the constant", is +12
Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • 12 = 12
Find two factors of 12 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -7 .
-12 + -1 = -13
-6 + -2 = -8
-4 + -3 = -7 That's it
Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors, -4 and -3
a2 - 4a - 3a - 12
Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
a • (a-4)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
3 • (a-4)
Add up the four terms
(a-3) • (a-4)
Really hope this helps :)
