Solution

The expression in the image is:

x14x5x7\frac{x^{14} \cdot x^5}{x^7}

Let's simplify this step by step.

Step 1: Apply the product of powers rule

When multiplying two terms with the same base, you add their exponents:

x14x5=x14+5=x19x^{14} \cdot x^5 = x^{14 + 5} = x^{19}

Step 2: Apply the quotient of powers rule

When dividing terms with the same base, subtract the exponent of the denominator from the exponent of the numerator:

x19x7=x197=x12\frac{x^{19}}{x^7} = x^{19 - 7} = x^{12}

Final Simplified Expression:

x12x^{12}
