simplify (a^5)/(a^7)

Solution

simplify

\frac{a ^{5}}{a ^{7}}

Solution

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

Solution steps

\frac{a ^{5}}{a ^{7}}

Apply exponent rule:

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

= a^{5 - 7}

Subtract the numbers:

5 - 7 = - 2

= a^{- 2}

Apply exponent rule:

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

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