exponent rule for negative exponent \[\huge\rm x^{-m}=\frac{ 1 }{ x^m }\]
use that
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thats a little confusing
Nnesha (nnesha):
just flip the fraction to convert negative to positive exponent
x^{-m} is same \[\huge\rm \frac{ x^{-m} }{ 1 } = \frac{ 1 }{ x^m }\] m is an exponent
OpenStudy (anonymous):

just flip the fraction. that's it when you do that negative sign will turns to positive

x^{-m} is same \[\huge\rm \frac{ x^{-m} }{ 1 } = \frac{ 1 }{ x^m }\] m is an exponent
i gave you 'n example.
