Answer:

b = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the exponent rule that   [tex]\frac{1}{x^{n}} = x^{-n}[/tex]

In this case, [tex]\frac{1}{y^{24}} = y^{-24}[/tex]

Set that equal to [tex](y^{b})^{4}[/tex]:

[tex](y^{b})^{4} = y^{-24}[/tex]

Apply the exponent rule that [tex](x^{m})^{n} = x^{mn}[/tex] so now you get:

[tex]y^{4b} = y^{-24}[/tex]

Since the base is y for both sides of the equation, just set the exponents equal to each other and solve for b.

4b = -24

divide each side by 4 to get:

b = -6
