Question Represent the following phrase as an algebraic expression where"a number" is the letter x. You do not need to simplify. The quotient of 1 and the square of a number. Answer

To represent the phrase "the quotient of 1 and the square of a number" as an algebraic expression, where "a number" is represented by the letter \( x \), you need to express it in terms of division and exponentiation.<br /><br />The phrase can be broken down as follows:<br />- "The square of a number" means \( x^2 \).<br />- "The quotient of 1 and the square of a number" means dividing 1 by \( x^2 \).<br /><br />Therefore, the algebraic expression is:<br /><br />\[<br />\frac{1}{x^2}<br />\]
