How will the product change if one factor is increased 12 times, and the other one is decreased 4 times

The answer would increase by a factor of 3

Step-by-step explanation:

You don't specify the terms but this can be applied to general products

Suppose we have an equation of the form

y1 = x1 * g1

And suppose we say

x2 = 12 * x1   (x1 increased 12 times)

g2 = (g1/4)    (g1 decreased 4 times)

If we multiply x2 and g2 we get

y2 = x2*g2  =   12 * x1  * (g1/4)  = 3* x1* g1

y2 = 3 *(x1 * g1)  = 3* y1

The answer would increase by a factor of 3

1/t^12

Step-by-step explanation: Simplify the expression using the rules of exponents.
