Blake's mistake is (d) He divided the exponents in the parentheses instead of subtracting.

<h3>How to determine the mistake</h3>

The expression is given as:

(\frac{x^{12}}{x^{-3}})^5 = \frac{1}{x^{-20}}

The actual solution is as follows:

(\frac{x^{12}}{x^{-3}})^5 = (x^{12+3})^5

Add the exponents

(\frac{x^{12}}{x^{-3}})^5 = (x^{15})^5

Multiply 15 by 5

(\frac{x^{12}}{x^{-3}})^5 = x^{75}

Blake's simplified expression showed that:

He divided 12 by -3 and then multiplied the result by 5

Hence, Blake's mistake is (d) He divided the exponents in the parentheses instead of subtracting.
