For this case we must simplify the following expression:
[tex]x ^ {12}[/tex]
By definition of power properties we have to:
[tex]a ^ {- 1} = \frac {1} {a ^ 1} = \frac {1} {a}[/tex]
Then we can rewrite the expression as:
[tex]x ^ {- 12} = \frac {1} {x ^ {12}}[/tex]
ANswer:
[tex]x ^ {- 12} = \frac {1} {x ^ {12}}[/tex]
Answer:
[tex]\frac{1}{x^{12}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The given expression is [tex]x^{-12}[/tex]
We never leave the final expression having a negative exponent.
So, we must change this negative exponent to a positive exponent.
In order to do that, we use the below property of exponent:-
[tex]x^{-m}=\frac{1}{x^m}[/tex]
Here m = 12
Therefore, by using this property, we get
[tex]x^{-12}\\\\=\frac{1}{x^{12}}[/tex]
Thus, the simplified form is
[tex]\frac{1}{x^{12}}[/tex]
