Question

Rewrite the expression without using a negative exponent.

Answer 1

Hello!

Recall the Properties of Exponents:

$\bold{a^{-m}\displaystyle\frac{1}{a^m}}$

Solve:

$\bold{\displaystyle\frac{1}{2y^{-2}}}$

Flop it over:

$\bold{2y^2}$

And we're done! :-)

Hope everything is clear.

Answer 2

Hey there!

Answer:

$\rightarrow \: \boxed{ \sf{ \frac{1}{2y {}^{ - 2}} } } \: \sf{ \rightarrow \frac{y {}^{2} }{2}}$

Solving steps

$\rightarrow \: \boxed{\sf{ \frac{1}{2 {y}^{ - 2} } }} \rightarrow \sf{ \frac{1}{2 \times \frac{1}{ {y}^{2} } } } \: \rightarrow \: \sf{ \frac{1}{ \frac{2}{y {}^{2} } } } \rightarrow \sf{ \frac{ {y}^{2} }{2} }$
