rememberx^-m=1/x^m1/12=12^-1also(x^m)^n=x^(mn)also (x^m)(x^n)=x^(m+n)\(( \frac{1}{12} )^{-2b}(12)^{-2b+2}=12\)\(( 12^{-1})^{-2b}(12)^{-2b+2}=12\)\(( 12^{2b})(12)^{-2b+2}=12\)\(12^{2b-2b+2}=12\)12²=12falseno solution
Solution:
(1/12)^(-2b) * 12^(-2b+2) = 12
(12^-1)^(-2b) (12)^(-2b+2) = 12
(12^2b)(12)^(-2b+2) = 12
12^(2b-2b+2) = 12
12^2 = 12
144 does not equal 12
No solution.
Best of Luck!
