as is; this is just an expression... there is nothing to solve. What is it you need to do with it?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i need to simplify only positive exponents
OpenStudy (amistre64):
\[8u5v^{-1}\] is this your problem then?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes but the 5 is smaller
OpenStudy (amistre64):
\[8u^{5v^{-1}}\] like this then?

the v is big
OpenStudy (amistre64):
\[8u^5 v^{-1}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (amistre64):
lol...
when you wanna type this on the keyboard so others can actually read it; do it like this:
8u^5 v^-1
OpenStudy (amistre64):
the answer tho is this:
\[\frac{8u^5}{v}\]

k thank you
OpenStudy (amistre64):
a negative exponent mean you flip it :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
canyou explain?
OpenStudy (amistre64):
i can try:
take for example...
(2/5)^-4 since the exponent is negative we flip the fraction like this:
(5/2)^4
and another example:
7^-2 we flip it over like this
(1/7)^2
OpenStudy (amistre64):
a negative exponent tells us that it is the reciprocal or inverse of the number its attached to
