1/x^-2*x^4

1 answer

To simplify the expression 1/x^(-2) * x^4, we can rewrite it using the properties of exponents.

Recall that x^(-n) is equal to 1/(x^n). Using this property, we can rewrite 1/x^(-2) as x^2.

Therefore, the expression simplifies to x^2 * x^4.

Using the multiplication rule for exponents, we add the exponents when multiplying the same base. In this case, we add 2 and 4 to get a final exponent of 6.

Therefore, the simplified expression is x^6.
