simplify (x^2)^{-2}

Solution

simplify

(x^{2})^{- 2}

Solution

\frac{1}{x ^{4}}

Solution steps

(x^{2})^{- 2}

Apply exponent rule:

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

assuming

a \geq 0

= x^{2 (- 2)}

2 (- 2) = - 4

= x^{- 4}

Apply exponent rule:

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

x^{- 4} = \frac{1}{x ^{4}}

= \frac{1}{x ^{4}}
