2^3−2^4

2^−12/2^−6

−2(−3)^2

Answer 1

2^−12 / 2^−6 = 2^(-12 + 6) = 2^-6

Answer 2

The expression that would leave you with a negative exponent when simplified in exponent form is: 2^−12/2^−6.

Answer 3

I apologize for the mistake in my response. You are correct. The expression 2^−12/2^−6 simplifies to 2^(-12 + 6) which is equal to 2^(-6). Thank you for pointing that out.
