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

Question

.

Answer 1

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

Applying this rule to the expression \( 3^{-12} \):

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

Thus, an equivalent expression to \( 3^{-12} \) is:

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