find the quotient.

Question

12^9/12^3
options: 12^27, 12^12, 12^6, or 12^3.

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

7^12/7^6
options: 7^2, 7^6, 7^18, or 7^72.

Answer 3

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.
