Well \(a^-^1 = 1/a^^1=1/a\)

So \(a^b(1-a^-1) = a^^b(1-1/a)= a^^b((a-1)/a)= (a^^b/a)(a-1)=a^^b-1(a-1)\)

Thanks

Thnak you Hussain15. Yeah I have a very small, basic scanner but it works.

I am so weak in verbal that I am generally hung up in verbal section and so never get chance to try questions in Quant section.....this does not mean that I am great in Math...just that I dont get time...:)
