Steps for Raising Power to Another Power

Use the rules of exponents to simplify the expression.

$$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$$

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

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

Multiply \frac{1}{2} times -1.

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

Raise 2 to the power -\frac{1}{2}.

$$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$$
