Simplify a/(a^0)

$\frac{a}{a^{0}}$

Step 1

Move $a^{0}$ to the numerator using the negative exponent rule $\frac{1}{b^{- n}} = b^{n}$ .

$a \cdot a^{0}$

Step 2

Multiply $a$ by $a^{0}$ by adding the exponents.

Multiply $a$ by $a^{0}$ .

Raise $a$ to the power of $1$ .

$a^{1} a^{0}$

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$a^{1 + 0}$

Add $1$ and $0$ .

$a^{1}$

Step 3

Simplify $a^{1}$ .

$a$
