Let's solve the given expression by applying the rules of exponents. The expression given is:
We know the rule for dividing powers with the same base: .
In this case, the base is , and we have the exponent 4 in the numerator and 7 in the denominator.
Applying the rule, we subtract the exponent in the denominator from the exponent in the numerator:
Now simplify the exponent:
Thus, the expression becomes:
.
The solution to the question is: .
\( 112^0=\text{?} \)
You get a negative exponent when the denominator has a larger exponent than the numerator. In , since 4 < 7, we get 4 - 7 = -3.
No need! Keep as one base. The exponent rule works the same whether the base is simplified or not. Focus on the exponent arithmetic: 4 - 7 = -3.
Yes, but only when multiplying powers with the same base: . For division, always subtract: .
A negative exponent means reciprocal. So . The negative flips the expression to the denominator.
Think: Multiplication = Add exponents, Division = Subtract exponents. The fraction bar means division, so subtract!
