simplify xy^{-1}

Solution

simplify

x y^{- 1}

Solution

\frac{x}{y}

Solution steps

x y^{- 1}

Apply exponent rule:

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

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

= x \frac{1}{y}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= \frac{x \cdot 1}{y}

Apply rule:

a \cdot 1 = a

x \cdot 1 = x

= \frac{x}{y}
