Question

I need some help with the rule for this expression.

-I know the power rule is (a^m)^n = a^mn

-The product rule is just adding exponents of like terms.

-Power of a Product rule is (ab)^n = a^n b^n

- Power of a quotient rule is (a/c)^n = a^n/c^n ; c =/= 0
Also for quotients; (a^m)/(a^n) = a^(m-n)
(Basically, subtract the powers of like exponents)

-Negative exponents rule is a^-n = 1/a^n
OR
1/a^-n = a^n

And if I have a negative exponent like this for example: p^-5/q^-9 can flip to q^9/p^5

Answer 1

but here's my question..

Answer 2

because it instructs you to write in POSITIVE exponents only

Answer 3

so, use
