exponents rule problem... ?

12x^9 / 4x^4

So can you split it into two parts:

12/4 =3

x^9/x^4 is the same as saying x^9-4=x^5

-->Note: when you divide exponents with the same base, subtract the exponents like I did

So your answer is 3x^5

For the base numbers (12, 4) just simplify as usual which would give you a 3. For exponents in order to simplify them you have to subract the exponent in the Numerator from the exponent in the Denominator, this will give you x^5.

Your answer is the result of those two.... see below...

3x^5

how would i simplify 12x^9 / 4x^4

12 * ( x^9 ) / [ 4 * x^4 ]

= ( 12/4 ) * [ (x^9) / (x^4) ]

= 3 * x^(9 - 4)

= 3 x^5

The proof that (x^9) / (x^4) = x^(9-4) is

x^9 = x * x * x * x * x * x * x * x * x

x^4 = x * x * x * x

(x^9) / (x^4)

= ( x * x * x * x * x * x * x * x * x) / ( x * x * x * x)

Cancel the 4 x's from the numerator that match the 4 x's in the denominator.

The number of x's remaining is (9 - 4) = 5.

When dividing, you subtract exponents.

12x^9 / 4x^4 12/4 =3 x^9/x^4 = x^9-4 = x^5

So your answer is 3x^5. !

12x^9/4x^4 ...

divide 12/4 = 3

3x^9/x^4

x^9 = x^4*x^5 split it up ...here you're using the rule where

if you have like bases...you add the exponenets.

Now x^4/x^4 cancels out

=3x^5 your answer.

just divide 12 and 4 (you get 3) and for the exponents just subtract. (ur answere is 3x^5)

27m^6 whenever you're coping with something indoors a chain of parenthesis, what's outdoors the parenthesis impacts each ingredient indoors them. consequently: (3m^2)^3 (3)^3 + (m^2)^3 27+m^6 27m^6

3x^5

Yeah, i would help, but i'm just abd at math!
