simplify (a^2)^{-1}

Solution

simplify

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

Solution

\frac{1}{a ^{2}}

Solution steps

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

Apply exponent rule:

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

assuming

a \geq 0

= a^{2 (- 1)}

2 (- 1) = - 2

= a^{- 2}

Apply exponent rule:

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

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

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