Rewrite the expression with NO negative exponents.
$y^{-8}$

• A. $\frac{y}{8}$
• B. $\frac{1}{y^8}$
• C. $y^8$
• D. $\frac{1}{8y}$

Answer: (B)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Identify the expression with the negative exponent, which is \(y^{-8}\).
2. Recall the rule for negative exponents: \(a^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n}\), where \(a\) is a nonzero number and \(n\) is a positive integer.
3. Apply this rule to rewrite \(y^{-8}\) as \(\frac{1}{y^8}\), thus eliminating the negative exponent.
4. Check the other expressions given to ensure they are correctly interpreted and do not contain negative exponents.
5. Confirm that the rewritten expression \(\frac{1}{y^8}\) is the form with no negative exponents.
