simplify (y^4)^{-3}

Solution

simplify

(y^{4})^{- 3}

Solution

\frac{1}{y ^{12}}

Solution steps

(y^{4})^{- 3}

Apply exponent rule:

(a^{b})^{c} = a^{b c},

assuming

a \geq 0

= y^{4 (- 3)}

4 (- 3) = - 12

= y^{- 12}

Apply exponent rule:

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

y^{- 12} = \frac{1}{y ^{12}}

= \frac{1}{y ^{12}}
