Use the Negative Exponent Rule to generate an equivalent expression to 3−12.

Answer 1

The Negative Exponent Rule states that \( a^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n} \).

Using this rule, we can rewrite \( 3^{-12} \) as follows:

\[ 3^{-12} = \frac{1}{3^{12}} \]

Thus, the equivalent expression for \( 3^{-12} \) is \( \frac{1}{3^{12}} \).
