The population ten years ago was 6,000.
Because the population doubled you divide 12,000 by 2
12,000 / 2 = 6,000
First do inside the parenthesis first.
When dividing two exponents subtract them.
15-5 = 10
So w^15 / w^5 becomes w^10
Now you have (w^10)^4
Now multiply the exponents:
10 x 4 = 40
Final answer is w^40
