simplify ab^{-1}

Solution

simplify

a b^{- 1}

Solution

\frac{a}{b}

Solution steps

a b^{- 1}

Apply exponent rule:

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

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

= a \frac{1}{b}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= \frac{a \cdot 1}{b}

Apply rule:

a \cdot 1 = a

a \cdot 1 = a

= \frac{a}{b}
