Question

Which expression is equivalent to the given expression?
(12g^2h^7)(3g^-2h^-4)
​

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

(12g²h⁷)(3g⁻²h⁻⁴) = 12 * 3 * g²⁺⁽⁻²⁾ * h⁷⁺⁽⁻⁴⁾

                            = 36 * g⁰ * h³

                            = 36 * 1 * h³

                            = 36h³

Any variable or constant to the power of zero is 1

a⁰ = 1 ;    12⁰ = 1  ;   (-5)⁰ = 1
