What is an equivalent expression for −(b1/4)12 ?(1 point)

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \(-\left(\frac{b}{4}\right)12\), you can follow these steps:

1. Recognize that the expression involves multiplication of \(-\frac{b}{4}\) by \(12\).
2. Rewrite the expression:
   \(-\left(\frac{b}{4}\right)12 = -\frac{b \cdot 12}{4}\)
3. Simplify \(\frac{12}{4}\):
   \(-\frac{b \cdot 12}{4} = -3b\)

So, an equivalent expression for \(-\left(\frac{b}{4}\right)12\) is \(-3b\).
