Answer 1

To apply the property of negative integer exponents, we can rewrite each term with a positive exponent by flipping the base and placing it in the denominator.

Using this property, the expression 5^(-9) / 4^(-12) can be rewritten as 1/(5^9 * 1/(4^12)).

Simplifying further, we get 1 / (1/(5^(9) * 4^(12)))
