Question:
Choose an equivalent expression for 12^3 • 12^9 • 12^4 • 12^2
A. 12^4 B. 12^18 C. 12^35 D. 12^216
Answer:
[tex]12^{18}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]12^3 . 12^9 . 12^4 . 12^2[/tex]
Required
Determine the equivalent
Applying law of indices, we have:
[tex]12^{3 + 9 + 4 + 2}[/tex]
[tex]12^{18}[/tex]
Hence:
[tex]12^3 . 12^9 . 12^4 . 12^2 = 12^{18[/tex]
