Solution

simplify

\frac{- 3}{( - 3 ) ^{2}}

Solution

- \frac{1}{3}

+1

Solution steps

\frac{- 3}{( - 3 ) ^{2}}

Apply exponent rule:

\frac{x ^{a}}{x ^{b}} = \frac{1}{x ^{b - a}}

= \frac{1}{( - 3 ) ^{2 - 1}}

Subtract the numbers:

2 - 1 = 1

= \frac{1}{( - 3 ) ^{1}}

Apply exponent rule:

a^{1} = a

(- 3)^{1} = - 3

= \frac{1}{- 3}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{a}{- b} = - \frac{a}{b}

= - \frac{1}{3}
