Question

can anyone change negative exponents to positive

Answer 1

send it down

Answer 2

Sure, if you switch from the numerator to denominator or vice versa.

Answer 3

Example: x^(-3) = 1/x^3

Answer 4

how would you do (5x^2)^-1

Answer 5

Or here's another example if you have 3/x^(-5) you can "move" the x to the numerator and it becomes 3x^5.

Answer 6

how would you go about my problem

Answer 7

Both the 5 and the x^2 are affected by the power of -1. If they are in the numerator right now, where do you think they'll end up?

Answer 8

denominator

Answer 9

Excellent!

Answer 10

how would you write it out tho

Answer 11

I'll wait here why you try to give me an answer. Have a guess if you're not sure.

Answer 12

would it just be 5x since you minus an exonent

Answer 13

Good guess. If you just make the x an "x^2" you'll have it!
5x^2.
