simplify (x^{-5})/(x^2)

Solution

simplify

\frac{x ^{- 5}}{x ^{2}}

Solution

\frac{1}{x ^{7}}

Solution steps

\frac{x ^{- 5}}{x ^{2}}

Apply exponent rule:

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

= x^{- 5 - 2}

Subtract the numbers:

- 5 - 2 = - 7

= x^{- 7}

Apply exponent rule:

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

= \frac{1}{x ^{7}}
