Question

Divide and simplify y/y^-5

Answer 1

y^5/5
y^4

Answer 2

\[y ^{5}/y = y ^{4}\]

Answer 3

\[y*y^5=y^6\]

Answer 4

A term with a negative expression is in inverse form. To simplify, invert the term, as I've shown, and solve

Answer 5

\[y/y^-5\]
\[y*y^5\]
\[Y^6\]

Answer 6

*negative exponent

Answer 7

thank you so much!

Answer 8

Disregard what I said. The other two were right, though they should have been clearer.\[y/y^{-5} = y/(1/y ^{5}) = y*y ^{5}/1 = y ^{6}\]
You multiply numerators by the inverses of their denominators to evaluate such expressions
