Kansas to the minus one? One over Kansas?

Kansas^-1 (x) not kansas (x)^-1

Yeah it's a play how arcsin(x) = sin^-1(x), arccos = cos^-1(x), and arctan = tan^-1(x)

So one over Kansas times x not Kansas times one over x?

Kansas is a function name, not a variable in this notation. Otherwise it would be (Kansa/s)(x) which simplifies to (a^2) (k)(n)(x)
