ok i think i mightove missed the day whe learned this soo can u hlp me? O.O
...the directions say simplify each quotient,using a positive exponent.assume each variable does not equal zero (we are reviewing stuff i should have learned)
ex of one of the Q's: b(to the 12th power)over b (to the 4th power)
(i know its silly but my mom doesnt remember hardly anything from math soo i gotta ask for hlp)

The Letter from God Dear child, Despite your silence, I have heard your soul weeping. Why have you been so unhappy? Have you forgotten my everlasting love for you? Child, you are mine. Why have you not called my name sooner? If you seek me, I will answer. I am your counselor, ready to instruct you and show you which path to take. When you come to me, I will embrace you and silence all your fears. Just remember that I am here to hold you close and dry your tears. I will always be right beside you. Not only am I your father, but your best friend. Do not be afraid to ask for my mercy and forgiveness. I know that its hard to live on earth, so I understand when you fall down once in awhile, ask me for help, and I will pick you up and carry you. No one loves you more than I do. When you feel alone, remember I am beside you. When you feel helpless, remember I offer myself to you. When you feel lost, remember I will lead you, and when you feel forgotten, remember that you are my child and I will love you unconditionally. It is never too late to come home. I will be here waiting, ready to embrace you. I will leave the light on for you. Forever with you, God

You subtract the powers. So it's b to the (12-4) power or b to the 8th power. Does that help?

First, some notation: if you want to write "a to the power of b", write it as a^b. "a divided by b" should be a/b.
Anyways, the rule to remember is that when you divide exponentiated expressions of the same base, you subtract. If you're multiplying, you add. In your example b^12/b^4=b^(12-4).
The reason for this is relatively straightforward if you exand the exponent. For example:
b^3/b^4= (b*b*b)/(b*b*b*b).
Cancelling yields, 1/b=b^(-1)=b^(3-4).

The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.
