Question
simplify. rewrite the expression in the form $x^n$. $\frac{x^{12}}{x^{-4}}$
Step1: Apply exponent division rule
When dividing like bases, subtract exponents: $\frac{x^a}{x^b}=x^{a-b}$
$\frac{x^{12}}{x^{-4}} = x^{12 - (-4)}$
Step2: Simplify the exponent
Calculate the subtraction of negative number
$x^{12 + 4} = x^{16}$
