Answer 3

First understand that negative exponent means "inverse". So if you have for example

\(\large 5^{-1}\) you read it as the inverse of \(\large 5\). The inverse of \(\large5\) is \(\large\frac{1}{5}\) so \(\large5^{-1} = \frac{1}{5}\)

And in general:

\[x^{-a} = \frac{1}{x^a}\]

In other words, the inverse of x to the power -a, is one over x to the power a.
