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 (welshfella):

1 / p^5 = 1/243 therefore p^5 = 243 p = 243^(1/5(

Nnesha (nnesha):

it's not that hard at least try it!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i cant get it

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[\huge\rm \frac{ x^{-m} }{ 1 } = \frac{ 1 }{ x^m }\] look at this exponent rule. \[\huge\rm \frac{ p^{-5} }{ 1 } = ?\] what is the reciprocal of p^{-5}/1 ??

Nnesha (nnesha):

just flip the fraction....
