Answer:

a^8 ÷ b^12

Step-by-step explanation:

a^-5 · b^-4 / a^-13 · b^8

when dividing exponents with the same bases, subtract the exponents

a^8 · b^-12

do not leave a negative exponent; put it into the denominator and it becomes positive

b^-12 = 1 /b^12

A bag contains 8 black beads and 4 white beads. If 2 beads are drawn at random, what is the probability that both beads are blac

maria [59]

Answer:

14/33

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of beads is 8+4 = 12. 8 of these are black beads, so that is what we want, so 8/12 or 2/3. For the second one, one black bead is already taken so 8-1 = 7 are left and for the total 12 - 1 = 11 are left, so 7/11. Multiply this by 2/3 and we get 14/33.
