find the quotient.
12^9/12^3
options: 12^27, 12^12, 12^6, or 12^3.
To find the quotient, we subtract the exponents of the same base.
Thus, 12^9/12^3 = 12^(9-3) = 12^6.
So, the correct option is 12^6.
7^12/7^6
options: 7^2, 7^6, 7^18, or 7^72.
To find the quotient, we subtract the exponents of the same base.
Thus, 7^12/7^6 = 7^(12-6) = 7^6.
So, the correct option is 7^6.
