Answer 2

The simplified form of the given expression is
`(1)/(13)`.

Explanation:

The given expression is

`(13)/((1-14)^2)`

Simplify the parenthesis.

`(13)/((-13)^2)`

Using product property of exponent, we get

`(13)/((-1)^2(13)^2)`
`[\because (ab)^x=a^xb^x]`

`(13)/((13)^2)`

It can be written as

`(13)/(13* 13)`
`[\because a* a=a^2]`

Cancel out the common factors.

`(1)/(13)`

Therefore the simplified form of the given expression is
`(1)/(13)`.
