simplify (u^{-2})/(-2)

simplify

\frac{u ^{- 2}}{- 2}

- \frac{1}{2 u ^{2}}

Solution steps

\frac{u ^{- 2}}{- 2}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= - \frac{u ^{- 2}}{2}

Apply exponent rule:

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

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

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

Apply the fraction rule:

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

\frac{\frac{1}{u ^{2}}}{2} = \frac{1}{u ^{2} \cdot 2}

= - \frac{1}{u ^{2} \cdot 2}

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

- \frac{10}{15}

\frac{6}{32}

\frac{14}{136 \cdot 21}

\frac{12 \cdot 6}{12 + 6}
