simplify x^{-2}y^2

Solution

simplify

x^{- 2} y^{2}

Solution

\frac{y ^{2}}{x ^{2}}

Solution steps

x^{- 2} y^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

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

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

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

Apply the fraction rule:

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

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

Apply rule:

1 \cdot a = a

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

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