Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the property of exponents [tex]\frac{a^b}{a^c}=a^{b-c}[/tex] over here.
Let's use this property to write:
[tex]\frac{a^n}{a^3}\\=a^{n-3}[/tex]
This is equal to a^9, hence, n - 3 = 9. Let's solve for n:
[tex]n-3=9\\n=9+3\\n=12[/tex]
n = 12
Answer:
option C
12
Step-by-step explanation:
Given in the question an expression
[tex]\frac{a^{n} }{a^{3} }=a^{9}[/tex]
To solve for n we will use rules of exponent
cross multiply
[tex]a^{n}=a^{9}a^{3}[/tex]
apply product rule
[tex]a^{n}=a^{9+3}[/tex]
[tex]a^{n}=a^{12}[/tex]
Apply logarithm on both sides of equation
[tex]lna^{n}=lna^{12}[/tex]
apply power rule of logarithm
nln(a) = 12ln(a)
ln(a) will cancel out on each side so we are left with
n= 12
