simplify (y^{-2})/(y^2)

Solution

simplify

\frac{y ^{- 2}}{y ^{2}}

Solution

\frac{1}{y ^{4}}

Solution steps

\frac{y ^{- 2}}{y ^{2}}

Apply exponent rule:

\frac{x ^{a}}{x ^{b}} = x^{a - b}

= y^{- 2 - 2}

Subtract the numbers:

- 2 - 2 = - 4

= y^{- 4}

Apply exponent rule:

a^{- b} = \frac{1}{a ^{b}}

= \frac{1}{y ^{4}}
