Answer:

The required exponent is
$y^{(1)/(4)}$

Explanation:

Consider the provided expression.

$\frac{1}{y^{-(1)/(4)}}$

We need to write the above expression into positive exponent form.

Now apply the exponent rule:
(1)/(a^(-b))=a^b

By using the above rule we can rewrite the above expression as shown:

$\frac{1}{y^{-(1)/(4)}}=y^{(1)/(4)}$

Hence, the required exponent is
$y^{(1)/(4)}$
