(12k^-2 (k^-3)^-4)/(6k^5)
= (12k^-2 * k^12)/(6k^5)
= (12k^10)/(6k^5)
= 12/6 * k^10/k^5
= 2k^5
What do you get for the other one?
Simplify each expression so that no negative exponents appear in the final result.
Assume that all variables represent nonzero real numbers.
1. (12k^-2(k^-3)^-4)/(6k^5)
2. (3rs^-2)/(3^2r^2s^-4)
