The expression 3y/27y^n-1  is simplified to give 3 ^ -2n + 1

What is an index?

An index can be defined as a  small number that tells us how many times a term has been multiplied by itself.

Indices is the plural form of index

From the expression given, we have:

  • 3y = 3^1 (y)
  • 27y^n-1 = [tex]3^3y ^n^-^1[/tex]

Let's find the common factor:

= [tex]\frac{3y}{3^3y^n^-^1}[/tex]

We have:

= [tex]\frac{1}{3^2^n^-^1}[/tex]

Take the inverse of the denominator

= [tex]3^-(2^n^-^1^)[/tex]

Expand the bracket of the exponential value

= [tex]3^ -^2^n^+^1[/tex]

Thus, the expression 3y/27y^n-1  is simplified to give 3 ^ -2n + 1
