Full solution

Q. Rewrite the expression without using a negative exponent.\newline(1)/(2y2)(1)/(-2y^{-2})\newlineSimplify your answer as much as possible.
  1. Move to Numerator: Convert the negative exponent to a positive exponent by moving y2y^{-2} to the numerator.\newlineCalculation: (1)/(2y2)=(1y2)/(2)(1)/(-2y^{-2}) = (1 \cdot y^2)/(-2)
  2. Multiply Numerators: Simplify the expression by multiplying the numerators.\newlineCalculation: (y2)/(2)(y^2)/(-2)
  3. Show Negative Sign: Rewrite the expression to show the negative sign more clearly.\newlineCalculation: y22-\frac{y^2}{2}
