Question

Rewrite the expression without using a negative exponent.

Answer 1

Dp you have a screen shot

Answer 2

So basically you have to put the negative 2 on top and make it its opposite and then you should be good.

Answer 3

Can somone confirm with me

Answer 4

Im confused, like cancel out the negative exponent by multiplying the top and simplify for 1/2y? or..?

Answer 5

Draw it to confirm, he needs to see what you are thinking.

Answer 6

He/She*

Answer 7

ok, so to rewrite it, you want to cancel out the exponent. so i believe you would multiply by -2

Answer 8

right?

Answer 9

nope, what you would do to make a exponent non-negative is to move it to the top of the fraction if it is at the bottom
for example
x = 1/(y^-1) is the same as x = y^1

or
x = 5/(y^-2) is the same as x = (y^2)/5

so i think not really

bc. x^(-1) = 1/x

in this way

x = 5/(y^-2) = 5/(1/y^2) = 5y^2

Answer 11

Answer 12

Yeah lol my b, the 5 doesn't go down. Basically the term with the negative exponent is what goes to the top. Thx for catching my mistake @jhonyy9

Answer 13

more attention pls
