1/(xy)^+1 evaluate by using a negative exponent?

OpenStudy (shamil98):

\[\huge \frac{ 1 }{ (xy)^1 } \] this?

OpenStudy (shamil98):

or is it xy + 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first one?

OpenStudy (shamil98):

\[\huge \frac{ 1 }{ xy }\] it's just that, since it's raised to the power of 1.

OpenStudy (shamil98):

\[\huge 1 * (xy)^{-1}\] is also the same thing

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\bf a^{-n} = \cfrac{1}{a^n}\quad thus\quad \cfrac{1}{(xy)^1}\implies (xy)^{-1}\)

OpenStudy (shamil98):

if that is what you are looking for.
