Which exponent rule(s) would be used to simplify this expression? 2x ^ 5 * 12x ^ - 4 (1 point)
The power to power rule since you have two different exponents on the x, so the new exponent would be -20 Also, you would add 2 and 12 using the product rule for exponents.
The quotient rule to subtract 2 - 12 = - 10 You would also subtract the exponents to get 5 - 4 = 1 for the power of x
C The product exponent rule to a 005+.4 to get an exponent of 1 on the x. You would also multiply 2 * 12 since they are coefficients.
The negative exponent rule to get 5 - (- 4) = 9 for the power of x and then multiply 2 * 12 = 24 for the coefficient
