Question 117807


{{{(y^5)/(y^10)}}} Start with the given expression.



{{{y^(5-10)}}} Remember when you divide monomials, you subtract their corresponding exponents. For instance {{{x^2/x^3=x^(2-3)=x^-1}}}



{{{y^-5}}} Simplify. 



{{{1/y^5}}} Rewrite {{{y^-5}}} as {{{1/y^5}}}


--------------------------------------------
Answer:


So {{{(y^5)/(y^10)}}} simplifies to {{{1/y^5}}}.


In other words, {{{(y^5)/(y^10)=1/y^5}}}.
