Question 132840
{{{(a^2)/(a^15)}}} Start with the given expression.



{{{a^(2-15)}}} Remember when you divide monomials, you subtract their corresponding exponents. For instance {{{x^2/x^3=x^(2-3)=x^-1}}}



{{{a^-13}}} Simplify. 



{{{1/a^13}}} Now rewrite {{{a^-13}}} as {{{1/a^13}}}


--------------------------------------------
Answer:


So {{{(a^2)/(a^15)}}} simplifies to {{{1/a^13}}}.


In other words, {{{(a^2)/(a^15)=1/a^13}}}.
