simplify 3a^{-2}

Solution

simplify

3 a^{- 2}

\frac{3}{a ^{2}}

Solution steps

3 a^{- 2}

Apply exponent rule:

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

a^{- 2} = \frac{1}{a ^{2}}

= 3 \cdot \frac{1}{a ^{2}}

Apply the fraction rule:

a \cdot \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \cdot b}{c}

= \frac{3 \cdot 1}{a ^{2}}

Multiply the numbers:

3 \cdot 1 = 3

= \frac{3}{a ^{2}}

\frac{x ^{2} - 36}{6 - x}

1 0^{∣ 0.2 ∣ \cdot l o g_{2} (128)} - 1

\frac{5 x + 20}{x ^{2} + 9} - \frac{20}{9}

lo g_{10} (2) + lo g_{10} (2)
