Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

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

Step-by-step 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
