For this case we must simplify the following expression:

[tex]x ^ {12}[/tex]

By definition of power properties we have to:

[tex]a ^ {- 1} = \frac {1} {a ^ 1} = \frac {1} {a}[/tex]

Then we can rewrite the expression as:

[tex]x ^ {- 12} = \frac {1} {x ^ {12}}[/tex]

ANswer:

[tex]x ^ {- 12} = \frac {1} {x ^ {12}}[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]\frac{1}{x^{12}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is [tex]x^{-12}[/tex]

We never leave the final expression having a negative exponent.

So, we must change this negative exponent to a positive exponent.

In order to do that, we use the below property of exponent:-

[tex]x^{-m}=\frac{1}{x^m}[/tex]

Here m = 12

Therefore, by using this property, we get

[tex]x^{-12}\\\\=\frac{1}{x^{12}}[/tex]

Thus, the simplified form is

[tex]\frac{1}{x^{12}}[/tex]
