Greetings from Brasil...
<em />
Here's our problem:
From potentiation properties:
Mᵃ ÷ Mᵇ = Mᵃ⁻ᵇ
<em>division of power of the same base: I repeat the base and subtract the exponents</em>
<em />
Bringing to our problem
12¹⁶ ÷ 12⁴
12¹⁶⁻⁴
<h2>12¹²</h2>
We know that that the water level is 3 feet below your deck. (-3)
When the tide goes out, the water level lowers 1 foot. (-1)
A storm surge comes in, the water level rises 2 feet. (+2)
New water level: -3-1+2= -4+2= -2
The new water level is 2 feet below the dock.
