Full solution

Q. Write the expression as a fraction with a positive exponent. \newline1y3\frac{1}{y^3}
  1. Understand Problem: Understand the problem with negative exponents.\newlineTo write the expression with a positive exponent, we need to recall the rule that an=1ana^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n} for any nonzero number aa and positive integer nn. This means that we can rewrite y3y^{-3} as a fraction with yy in the denominator and a positive exponent.
  2. Apply Rule: Apply the negative exponent rule.\newlineUsing the rule from Step 11, we can rewrite y3y^{-3} as 1y3\frac{1}{y^3}. This is because the negative exponent indicates that yy should be in the denominator and the exponent should be positive.
