To simplify \( \frac{a-12}{a^{2}-144} \), we first recognize that the denominator can be factored. The expression \( a^2 - 144 \) is a difference of squares and can be factored as follows: \[ a^2 - 144 = (a - 12)(a + 12). \] Now we can rewrite the original expression: \[ \frac{a-12}{a^{2}-144} = \frac{a-12}{(a-12)(a+12)}. \] If \( a \neq 12 \), we can cancel out the \( a-12 \) from the numerator and the denominator: \[ = \frac{1}{a + 12}. \] Thus, the simplified form of \( \frac{a-12}{a^{2}-144} \) is: \[ \frac{1}{a + 12} \quad \text{for } a \neq 12. \]
