Question

What is 5p to the -7 power/20p to the 2 power simplified

Answer 1

p^(-9) or 1/p^9

Explanation:

Here we have:

(5p)^(-7)

----------------

(20p)^2

Let's temporarily remove the coefficient 5/20 and reduce it to 1/4.

then we have:

1 1 1

(1/4) ------------- = (1/4) -------------- = ------------

p^7*p^2 p^(7 + 2) p^9
