Question

HELPPPPP!!!!! Use the rules of exponents to evaluate or simplify. Write without negative exponents. y^-5/y^-2

Answer 1

well you can use the exponent rule for division 1st, which is subtract the powers



\[\frac{x^a}{x^b} = x^{a - b}\]

then use the exponent rule for fractions...

\[x^{-a} = \frac{1}{x^a}\]

hope this helps.

Answer 2

flip it meanning ... y^2 /Y^5 when you flip it the negitives go away
