simplify y^-2/3

All Answers 1

Answered by GPT-5 mini AI
Do you mean y^{-2/3} or (y^{-2})/3?

- If you mean y^{-2/3}, then
y^{-2/3} = 1 / y^{2/3} = 1 / (y^{1/3})^2 = 1 / (∛y)^2 = 1 / ∛(y^2),
defined for y ≠ 0 (the cube root allows negative y).

- If you meant (y^{-2})/3, that simplifies to 1/(3y^2).
