Solve (-1/z)^2

$$( - \frac { 1 } { z } ) ^ { 2 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{1}{z^{2}}$$

Steps for Raising Power to Another Power

Use the rules of exponents to simplify the expression.

$$\left(-\frac{1}{z}\right)^{2}$$

To raise the product of two or more numbers to a power, raise each number to the power and take their product.

$$\left(\frac{1}{z}\right)^{2}$$

To raise a power to another power, multiply the exponents.

$$z^{-2}$$

Multiply -1 times 2.

$$\frac{1}{z^{2}}$$

Steps for Raising Quotient to a Power

Use the rules of exponents to simplify the expression.

$$\left(-\frac{1}{z^{1}}\right)^{2}$$

To raise the quotient of two numbers to a power, raise each number to the power and then divide.

$$\frac{1}{\left(z^{1}\right)^{2}}$$

To raise a power to another power, multiply the exponents.
