Given the exponential function expressed as
[tex](x^{1/2}y^{-1/4}z})^{-2}[/tex]
According to the law of indices expressed as
[tex](a^m)^n= a^{mn}[/tex]
Applying this law to the given exponential equation, we will have:
[tex]=(x^{1/2}y^{-1/4}z})^{-2}\\=(x^{1/2})^{-2}(y^{-1/4})^{-2}(z})^{-2}\\=x^{-1}y^{1/2}z^{-2}[/tex]
Using the inverse law;
[tex](x^{1/2}y^{-1/4}z})^{-2}=\frac{1}{x}\sqrt{y}\frac{1}{z^2}\\ (x^{1/2}y^{-1/4}z})^{-2}=\frac{\sqrt{y}}{xz^2}[/tex]
Hence the simplified form of the given expression is [tex]\frac{\sqrt{y}}{xz^2}[/tex]
