Question

can some tell me how to solve this problem?
-36c^12 over 12c^6

Answer 1

top: -36 c^12
bottom: 12 c^6

(-36/12) reduces to -3
c^(12-6) = c^6

Answer: -3c^6

Answer 2

when multiplying exponents:
a^3 * a^5;

you add the exponents together:
a^(3+5) = a^8

When you have an exponent on the bottom of a fraction:
1/(a^3)

You can re-write it as:
1/(a^3) = a^(-3)

Lets add try this:
(a^4)/(a^3) = (a^4) * (a^-3) = a^(4-3) = a^1

Answer 3

-36c^12/12c^6
=-3c^12-6=-3c^6
