Step 1: Use the rule of exponents
The rule for dividing exponents with the same base is:
\[\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}\]
Applying this rule to the expression:
\[\dfrac{9^{-3}}{9^{12}} = 9^{-3-12}\]
Step 2: Simplify the exponent
Now, simplify the exponent:
\[9^{-3-12} = 9^{-15}\]
The expression \(\dfrac{9^{-3}}{9^{12}}\) can be rewritten as:
\[9^{-15}\]

You should probably repost without all the distractions (blue background, backslashes, braces, etc. It looks like the problem is suggesting that you write the expression in the form 9^n (9 raised to the nth power) and that the expression is 9^(-3) times 9^(12). If that is the case then you are using the first law of exponents (the product of powers with the same base--add the exponents). So it looks like the correct answer is: 9^(-3+12) = 9^(9).
OR:
9-3(9)12 = 99
OR now that I see the frac{}{}
9-3/912 = 9-3-12= 9-15 which is the same as 1/915

\[9^n\].

9n 9-3/912 = 9n-3+12 = 9n+9
