Question

Simplify monomials...

Answer 1

\[4^{12}\div 4^{2}\]

Answer 2

\[\frac{4^{12}}{4^2}\]

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

show work plz

Answer 5

Hint: \[4^{12} = 4^2 4^{10}\]

Answer 6

the aanswer is wat

Answer 7

I am going to try! do u have mmmm choices?

Answer 8

i say it's 1,048,576

Answer 9

Well these are exponents so: 4^12 = 4x4x4x4x4x4x4x4x4x4x4x4

Answer 10

What does that equal??

Answer 11

Okay, here are the steps:

1. Rewrite 4^12 using the multiplication property of exponents
\[\frac{4^{12}}{4^2} = \frac{4^24^{10}}{4^2}\]

2. Cancel factors of 1:
Since 4^2/4^2 = 1cancel that and you'll end up with
\[4^{10}\]

Answer 12

Obviously when you use the multiplication property, you want to split 4^12 so that you cancel the denominator. Since 4^2 is in the denominator, rewrite 4^12 such that you have 4^2 in the numerator, then cancel out 4^2/4^2

If you can't understand that hire a personal tutor.

Answer 13

so the answer is wat

Answer 14

Oh gosh

Answer 15

The point is your right

Answer 16

atlchic, you have no clue

Answer 17

u have to simplify both exponents and then divide them

Answer 18

right Hero? i dont want to be wrong here

Answer 19

atlchic needs someone to hand-walk her through this. I don't have time to do it.

Answer 20

ill do it but mm let me inbox u the answer so that i make sure im right

Answer 21

k

Answer 22

Funny thing is, I posted the solution already

Answer 23

\[4^{10}= 1,048, 576\]

Answer 24

ohh but it says simplify. U have to leave it as an exponent??

Answer 25

yes im right lol

Answer 26

But usually it is not necessary to write it out like that. Just keep it as exponents

Answer 27

i got that

Answer 28

If the problem is given to you in exponents, you want to keep your answer in the same form.

Answer 29

In general, you want to put your answer in the same form as the question was given to you.

Answer 30

gotcha

Answer 31

please delete ur comment u made of me atlchic

Answer 32

i wi

Answer 33

So if you were given a fraction, your solution should also be a fraction (and not decimals) for example.

Answer 34

That's basically a general rule for all math

Answer 35

i other question

Answer 36

atlchic, I'm not fully convinced you understand this current question.

Answer 37

Did u understand atlchic??

Answer 38

\[p ^{7} n ^{3}/ p ^{4} n ^{2}\]

Answer 39

sorry i can't help u with that one :S I don't know but did u get the first question??

Answer 40

yes

Answer 41

ok then sorry i dont know the second one

Answer 42

hero neeed 2 cum bac here

Answer 43

If you want to post fractions, then in equation editor, typing

frac{a}{b} will produce:

\[\frac{a}{b}\]

Answer 44

Gabe, now I'm convinced that you used a calculator to do the first question. You don't seem to know laws of exponents.

Answer 45

look at my new problem

Answer 46

I looked at it. The same rules apply. Use laws of exponents to cancel factors of one

Answer 47

show me again plz

Answer 48

The only way it is right is when you have canceled both variables in the the denominator.

Answer 49

im confused again

Answer 50

Hero, i learned about this. It says if u don't remember the rules just simplify and i got it right so...

Answer 51

hero im lost

Answer 52

I'm sorry to hear that
