Question

Insert the corresponding expression:

(4×7)12(4×7)5= \frac{\left(4\times7\right)^{12}}{\left(4\times7\right)^5}=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

The given expression is (4×7)12(4×7)5 \frac{\left(4\times7\right)^{12}}{\left(4\times7\right)^5} .
We are asked to simplify this expression using the Power of a Quotient Rule for Exponents.

The Power of a Quotient Rule states:

  • When you divide like bases, you subtract the exponents: aman=amn \frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n} .

Applying this rule to the given problem:

1. The base of both the numerator and the denominator is 4×74 \times 7.
2. The exponent in the numerator is 12, and the exponent in the denominator is 5.
3. Therefore, subtract the exponents: 125=712 - 5 = 7.

The simplified expression becomes:

(4×7)7 \left(4\times7\right)^7 .

The solution to the question is: (4×7)7 \left(4\times7\right)^7

Answer

(4×7)7 \left(4\times7\right)^7
