simplify (y^{-1})^2

Solution

simplify

(y^{- 1})^{2}

Solution

\frac{1}{y ^{2}}

Solution steps

(y^{- 1})^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

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

assuming

a \geq 0

= y^{- 1 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:

1 \cdot 2 = 2

= y^{- 2}

Apply exponent rule:

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

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

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