simplify (y^2)/(y^5)

Solution

simplify

\frac{y ^{2}}{y ^{5}}

Solution

\frac{1}{y ^{3}}

Solution steps

\frac{y ^{2}}{y ^{5}}

Apply exponent rule:

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

= y^{2 - 5}

Subtract the numbers:

2 - 5 = - 3

= y^{- 3}

Apply exponent rule:

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

= \frac{1}{y ^{3}}
