simplify (x/y)^{-1}

Solution

simplify

(\frac{x}{y})^{- 1}

Solution

\frac{y}{x}

Solution steps

(\frac{x}{y})^{- 1}

Apply exponent rule:

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

(\frac{x}{y})^{- 1} = \frac{1}{\frac{x}{y}}

= \frac{1}{\frac{x}{y}}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{1}{\frac{b}{c}} = \frac{c}{b}

= \frac{y}{x}
