Answer 1

To simplify the expression \( \frac{1}{x} \cdot \frac{1}{x} \cdot \frac{1}{x} \cdot \frac{1}{x} \cdot \frac{1}{x} \cdot \frac{1}{x} \), we can first rewrite it using powers.

Since we are multiplying six fractions of \( \frac{1}{x} \), we can express this as:

\[
\left( \frac{1}{x} \right)^6
\]

Using the properties of exponents, we can simplify \( \left( \frac{1}{x} \right)^6 \) to:

\[
\frac{1^6}{x^6} = \frac{1}{x^6}
\]

Now, to express it with positive exponents, we can rewrite \( \frac{1}{x^6} \) as:

\[
x^{-6}
\]

However, since the instructions require that we write it in exponential form with positive exponents only, we express the negative exponent according to the guidelines:

\[
\frac{1}{x^6}
\]

So, the final simplified form of the expression in positive exponent form is:

\[
\frac{1}{x^6}
\]
