simplify (x^{n-1})/(x^n)

Solution

simplify

\frac{x ^{n - 1}}{x ^{n}}

Solution

\frac{1}{x}

Solution steps

\frac{x ^{n - 1}}{x ^{n}}

Apply exponent rule:

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

= x^{n - 1 - n}

Simplify

n - 1 - n : - 1

= x^{- 1}

Apply exponent rule:

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

= \frac{1}{x}
