Question

Rewrite the expression without using a negative exponent.

Answer 1

Hey there!

Answer:

`\rightarrow \: \boxed{ \sf{ \frac{1}{2y {}^( - 2)} } } \: \sf{ \rightarrow \frac{y {}^(2) }{2}} \\`

Solving steps

`\rightarrow \: \boxed{\sf{ \frac{1}{2 {y}^( - 2) } }} \rightarrow \sf{ \frac{1}{2 * \frac{1}{ {y}^(2) } } } \: \rightarrow \: \sf{ \frac{1}{ \frac{2}{y {}^(2) } } } \rightarrow \sf{ \frac{ {y}^(2) }{2} }`

Answer 2

Hello!

Recall the Properties of Exponents:

`\bold{a^(-m)\displaystyle(1)/(a^m)}`

Solve:

`\bold{\displaystyle(1)/(2y^(-2))}`

Flop it over:

`\bold{2y^2}`

And we're done! :-)

Hope everything is clear.

Let me know if you have any questions!
