B/A Isn't so hard if you think about it.
 
  • #3
(A/B)^-1? what's the question?
 
  • #4
You have to get a positive exponent in the numerator and denominator first, right ?
 
  • #5
A ^ - 1 / B ^ - 1
Can be written ?

(1/A^1) / (1/B^1)
 
  • #6
yes, what's wrong with it?

Yes, A-1/B-1= (1/A)/(1/B). And to divide by a fraction, you invert and multiply: (1/A)(B/1)= B/A just as in the first response.
