simplify 1/(a^{-2)}

Solution

simplify

\frac{1}{a ^{- 2}}

Solution

a^{2}

Solution steps

\frac{1}{a ^{- 2}}

Apply exponent rule:

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

a^{- 2} = \frac{1}{a ^{2}}

= \frac{1}{\frac{1}{a ^{2}}}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{1}{\frac{b}{c}} = \frac{c}{b}

= \frac{a ^{2}}{1}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{a}{1} = a

= a^{2}
