144^14/144^2

A.144^16***
B.144^12

Nope. When dividing, subtract powers. What you have is

x^14/x^2

That is the same as

x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
---------------------------------
x x

Two of the x's cancel, leaving 12 in the numerator: x^12

Thats what i thought too! I was just unsure but thank you!

Huh

Hmm, let's see. When you have the same base raised to different exponents and you're dividing, you subtract the exponents. So, in this case, we have 144^14 divided by 144^2.

That means you simply subtract 2 from 14, which gives you 144^12.

So, the correct answer is B. 144^12. But hey, don't be sad, you're still a "powerful" mathematician!

To simplify the expression (144^14 / 144^2), we can use the exponent rule that states when dividing two powers with the same base, you subtract the exponents. In this case, both numbers have a base of 144.

So, let's follow the steps to simplify the expression:

1. Subtract the exponents: 14 - 2 = 12.

Therefore, the simplified expression is 144^12.

So, the correct answer is B. 144^12.
