Question

Multiply or divide as indicated (3x)^12/ (3x)^4

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{(3x)^{12} }{(3x)^{4} } =(3x)^{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

As we are dividing by powers, we can just subtract the powers as they have the same base. As 12-4=8 the answer would be

$\frac{(3x)^{12} }{(3x)^{4} } =(3x)^{8}$

Answer 2

Answer:

$(3 x )^ 8$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following expression which we are to multiply or divide as indicated:

$\frac { ( 3 x ) ^ { 1 2 } } { ( 3 x ) ^ 4 }$

We know that if the bases are same and they are divided, then the exponent of the denominator is subtracted from the exponent of the numerator. So we get:

$( 3 x ) ^ { 1 2 - 4 } =( 3 x )^ 8$
