simplify x^2x^{-12}

Solution

simplify

x^{2} x^{- 12}

Solution

\frac{1}{x ^{10}}

Solution steps

x^{2} x^{- 12}

Apply exponent rule:

a^{b} \cdot a^{c} = a^{b + c}

x^{2} x^{- 12} = x^{2 - 12}

= x^{2 - 12}

Subtract the numbers:

2 - 12 = - 10

= x^{- 10}

Apply exponent rule:

a^{- b} = \frac{1}{a ^{b}}

x^{- 10} = \frac{1}{x ^{10}}

= \frac{1}{x ^{10}}
