a13a6=\dfrac{a^{-13}}{a^{-6}}=\Box

Full solution

Q. a13a6=\dfrac{a^{-13}}{a^{-6}}=\Box
  1. Apply Quotient Rule: Apply the quotient rule for exponents which states that aman=amn \frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n} .\newlineCalculate the new exponent by subtracting the exponent in the denominator from the exponent in the numerator: 13(6)=13+6=7 -13 - (-6) = -13 + 6 = -7 .\newlineSo, a13/a6=a7 a^{-13}/a^{-6} = a^{-7} .
