Apply the Property of Negative Integer Exponents to generate an expression equivalent to 5−94−12 with positive exponents only.(1 point)

1 answer

To apply the property of negative integer exponents, we will rewrite the expression using positive exponents.

The property states that for any nonzero number "a" and negative integer "n", "a^-n" is equal to 1 divided by "a^n".

So, for the expression 5^-9/4^-12, we can rewrite it as (1/5^9)/(1/4^12).

Simplifying further, we can multiply the numerator and denominator by the reciprocal of the denominator to get (4^12)/(5^9).

Therefore, the expression equivalent to 5^-9/4^-12 with positive exponents only is 4^12/5^9.
