Answer :

Let's solve each part of the question by analyzing the given expressions and using algebraic principles.

### Part (a):
[tex]\[ (-3) \div (-3)^0 = (-3)^{12} \][/tex]

First, simplify [tex]\( (-3)^0 \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ (-3)^0 = 1 \][/tex]

So, the left-hand side (LHS) expression becomes:
[tex]\[ (-3) \div 1 = -3 \][/tex]

For the LHS to equal the right-hand side (RHS), we need:
[tex]\[ -3 = (-3)^{12} \][/tex]

This is not possible because [tex]\( (-3)^{12} = 531441 \)[/tex], which is not -3. Therefore, the expression itself is incorrect as stated.

However, let's frame it in a possible correct format:
[tex]\[ (-3) \div (-3)^{-1} = (-3) \][/tex]

Thus,
[tex]\[ (-3) \times (-3) = (-3)^2 = 9 \][/tex]
But this does not align with [tex]\( (-3)^{12} \)[/tex].

It seems there might be some misunderstanding in constructing the original problem. Let's clarify with a valid scenario:
[tex]\[ (-3)^x = (-3)^{12} \][/tex]
where [tex]\( x = 12 \)[/tex].

### Part (b):
[tex]\[ \frac{(-5)}{(-5)} = (-5)^7 \][/tex]

Simplify LHS:
[tex]\[ \frac{(-5)}{(-5)} = 1 \][/tex]

For the LHS to equal the RHS, we need:
[tex]\[ 1 = (-5)^7 \][/tex]

This statement is false because:
[tex]\[ (-5)^7 = -78125 \][/tex]

Thus, for the expression:
[tex]\[ \frac{(-5)}{(-5)} = 1 = ( -5)^0 \][/tex]

Thus, it simplifies correctly:
[tex]\[ x = 0 \][/tex]

### Part (c):
[tex]\[ [(-4)]^3 = (-4)^{15} \][/tex]

We have:
[tex]\[ (-4)^3 = -64 \][/tex]

For this to match:
[tex]\[ -64 = (-4)^{15} \][/tex]

Which is not possible because powers don't match. Let's interpret correctly:
[tex]\[ [(-4)^k = (-4)^{15}\][/tex]

Thus, [tex]\(3x = 15, \ \ x=5\)[/tex]:

We have correct format:
[tex]\[ -4^{15}\][/tex]

### Part (d):
[tex]\[ \left[\frac{(-7)}{(-10)}\right]^4 = \frac{(-7)^{16}}{(-10)^{20}} \][/tex]

Simplify LHS:
[tex]\[ \left(\frac{7}{10}\right)^4 \][/tex]

RHS:
[tex]\[ \frac{7^{16}}{10^{20}} \][/tex]

Looking for same bases:
Correct scenario:
The base must match same vertices/exponents validity aligns

### Part (e):
[tex]\[ \left[\frac{(-6)^3}{(-9)^4}\right]^D = \frac{(-6)^9}{(-9)^2} \][/tex]

Simplify quo,
[tex]\[ (frac{-6}{9}\times \right)\][/tex] which needs,
