Solution Steps
To simplify the expression (y3)−3 using the power of a power rule, you multiply the exponents. Then, to eliminate the negative exponent, take the reciprocal of the base raised to the positive exponent.
Step 1: Apply the Power of a Power Rule
Using the power of a power rule, we simplify the expression (y3)−3 by multiplying the exponents:
(y3)−3=y3⋅(−3)=y−9
Step 2: Eliminate the Negative Exponent
To express the result without a negative exponent, we take the reciprocal of the base:
y−9=y91
