how do you turn -c^3d^-4 into a positive algebraic solution?

Question

anonymous · Answer

u change all the negative signs to positive

anonymous · Answer

i did that navi1996. and i put it over 1. but i still got it wrong.

anonymous · Answer

when you have negative exponents it is simplified, so you have to do 1/d^4 which is the same as d^-4, so the answer is -c^3/d^4

anonymous · Answer

it is not* simplified is what i meant

anonymous · Answer

you put the answer you have over one rright? if so, i did that and i still got it wrong.

anonymous · Answer

what do you mean put the answer over 1?

anonymous · Answer

under*...my bad.

anonymous · Answer

anything divided by 1 is itself.

anonymous · Answer

oh, you only put the d^4 over one because d^-4 is the same thing as 1/d^4. You dont do that with c^3 because its exponent is positive so you leave it on the top of the fraction.
