Simplify seven to the 12th power times seven to the -6 power write your answer and exponential form example five to the power of two not 25

1 answer

To simplify \( 7^{12} \times 7^{-6} \), you can use the property of exponents that states \( a^m \times a^n = a^{m+n} \).

So, we combine the exponents:

\[ 7^{12} \times 7^{-6} = 7^{12 + (-6)} = 7^{12 - 6} = 7^6 \]

Thus, the simplified expression in exponential form is:

\[ 7^6 \]
