Bot GPT 3.5 To simplify the expression, you can combine the two exponents by using the properties of exponents.
First, recall that when you divide two numbers with the same base, you subtract their exponents. Therefore, 13^(12) ÷ 13^(-10) can be rewritten as 13^(12 - (-10)).
Simplifying the exponent subtraction:
12 - (-10) = 12 + 10 = 22
Thus, 13^(12) ÷ 13^(-10) simplifies to 13^22.
