simplify a^{-4}b^-1/2

Solution

simplify

a^{- 4} b^{-} \frac{1}{2}

Solution

\frac{b ^{-}}{2 a ^{4}}

Solution steps

a^{- 4} b^{-} \frac{1}{2}

Apply exponent rule:

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

= \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{a ^{4}} b^{-}

Multiply fractions:

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

= \frac{1 \cdot 1 \cdot b ^{-}}{a ^{4} \cdot 2}

Multiply:

1 \cdot 1 \cdot b^{-} = b^{-}

= \frac{b ^{-}}{2 a ^{4}}
