Simplify the expression. Write the result using positive exponents only.
-$\frac { \mathrm { y } ^ { - 6 } } { \mathrm { y } ^ { 3 } }$
A) $\mathrm { y } ^ { 9 }$
B) $\frac { 1 } { y ^ { 18 } }$
C) $\frac { 1 } { \mathrm { y } ^ { 9 } }$
D) $\frac { 1 } { y ^ { 3 } }$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When dividing powers with the same base, subtract the exponents: $y^{-6} / y^{3} = y^{-6-3} = y^{-9}$. To write with positive exponents, use $y^{-9} = 1/y^{9}$.
