Solution

simplify

5 y^{- 3}

Solution

\frac{5}{y ^{3}}

Solution steps

5 y^{- 3}

Apply exponent rule:

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

y^{- 3} = \frac{1}{y ^{3}}

= 5 \cdot \frac{1}{y ^{3}}

Apply the fraction rule:

a \cdot \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \cdot b}{c}

= \frac{5 \cdot 1}{y ^{3}}

Multiply the numbers:

5 \cdot 1 = 5

= \frac{5}{y ^{3}}
