Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
An exponent raised to a negative number can be re-written with the following pattern:
X^-Y = 1/(X^Y)
So the equation you gave can be rewritten as:
[2/(x^2)]*[1/(y^2)] = [2/(3^2)]*[1/(2^2)] = (2/9)*(1/4) = 2/36 = 1/18
Answer:
(assuming you are looking for the answer letting x=3 and y=-2)
2x^-2=2/9
y^-2=-1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
It seems like you have 2 different equations there. Them being 2x^-2 and y^-2 because the two equations aren't connected.
If this is the case you simply substitute and solve!
