simplify (a^2)/(a^7)

Solution

simplify

\frac{a ^{2}}{a ^{7}}

Solution

\frac{1}{a ^{5}}

Solution steps

\frac{a ^{2}}{a ^{7}}

Apply exponent rule:

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

= a^{2 - 7}

Subtract the numbers:

2 - 7 = - 5

= a^{- 5}

Apply exponent rule:

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

= \frac{1}{a ^{5}}
