1/4y^2 (that's one divided by four y to the power of two)
i'd like it so that it's just on one line. keeping it the same value of course

If it is 1 / (4 y ²) then:-
( 4 y ² )^(-1) is answer.
If it is (1/4) y ² then:-
4^(-1) y ² is the answer.
PS
Use brackets to avoid confusion!

is it just the y that is squared or the 1/4y?
I think 1/y=y^(-1) if that helps (one over y equals y to the power of minus 1)

It is impossible to rewrite the expression 1/4y^2 to anything else, unless you put it into an equation.
To the dude above me: That would give the reciprocal (f(x) = x^-1) as opposed to the inverse (f(x) = 1/x), which we want.

You question doesn't make sense.
If it was x = 1/(4y^2) ... that could be rearranged.
1/(4y^2) cannot be anything else as we don't know the value of y.

1/(4y^2) == (4y^2)^-1
