Question

What is the simplified form of this expression? Could someone teach me how to answer it if my answer is wrong?
This is the problem

Answer 1

this is my answer x9

Answer 2

Use the caret symbol when you want to show an exponent in text.

So \(\rm x^9\) you would write this way x^9.

Answer 3

So you're saying that \(\large\rm x^{-9}\) turned into \(\rm x^9\) ?
Hmmm

Answer 4

When dealing with negative exponents,
it can be helpful to rewrite your value as a fraction.

Remember that you can write any number over 1 to turn it into a fraction,
\(\large\rm \dfrac{x^{-9}}{1}\)

We can change our exponent to positive by throwing the whole thing into the denominator,\[\large\rm \frac{}{1x^9}\]Hmm but what's left upstairs? :O
Nothing? A 1 is still there actually!\[\large\rm \frac{1}{1x^9}\]Which we can simply write as,\[\large\rm \frac{1}{x^9}\]I hope the extra 1's and fraction business didn't make things too confusing.
Exponents can be a little tricky.
