$$\frac{ 3 { s }^{ 5 } { t }^{ 7 } }{ -3 { s }^{ 5 } { t }^{ 7 } }$$

Evaluate

$$-1$$

Steps Using Quotient of Powers Property

Use the rules of exponents to simplify the expression.

$$\frac{3^{1}s^{5}t^{7}}{\left(-3\right)^{1}s^{5}t^{7}}$$

To divide powers of the same base, subtract the denominator's exponent from the numerator's exponent.

$$\frac{3^{1}}{\left(-3\right)^{1}}s^{5-5}t^{7-7}$$

Subtract 5 from 5.

$$\frac{3^{1}}{\left(-3\right)^{1}}s^{0}t^{7-7}$$

For any number a except 0, a^{0}=1.

$$\frac{3^{1}}{\left(-3\right)^{1}}t^{7-7}$$

Subtract 7 from 7.

$$\frac{3^{1}}{\left(-3\right)^{1}}t^{0}$$

For any number a except 0, a^{0}=1.

$$\frac{3^{1}}{\left(-3\right)^{1}}$$

Divide 3 by -3.
