9th grade monomials

[AlexandriaSVH]

Name two monomials with a quotient of 12?^-2 b^4 , its all together by the way but needed to separate so its not confusing for the numbers on top ( ^ )

Is [math]2a^{-2}b^{4}[/math] a monomial?

What does quotient mean in the context of your assignment?

What does quotient mean in the context of your assignment?

Its ''a result obtained by dividing one quantity by another.''

Yes i believe so..

please review your post for accuracy.

Can a monomial have a negative exponent?

If it could, so that your [MATH]12a^{-2} b^4[/MATH] was a monomial, then the answer could be [MATH]12a^{-2} b^4[/MATH] and 1, which is also a monomial.

But since it can't ... What might the divisor be?

Super. Have you considered rewriting the factor with the negative exponent as something with a positive exponent? You might be done.
