We're being asked to evaluate the given expression by using our exponent rules.
00:05
And the first thing i realized my denominator should have been 12.
00:08
So now we have to pick out which exponent rule we're going to use.
00:13
Well, we're dividing like bases, so we're going to use our quotient rule.
00:17
So let me remind you how that works.
00:19
It says if we take a raised to the m power and divided by the same base a raised to the n power, the result will be the base a raised to the m minus n power.
00:29
So for our particular example, a is our base, which is 2, m is the exponent in the numerator, which is 7, n is the denominator's exponent, which is 12...
