Here’s how you can express the negative exponents as positive exponents:
| Problem | Expression | |-----------|--------------------| | \( x^{-2} \) | \( \frac{1}{x^2} \) | | \( x^{-3} \) | \( \frac{1}{x^3} \) | | \( x^{-4} \) | \( \frac{1}{x^4} \) | | \( x^{-13} \) | \( \frac{1}{x^{13}} \) | | \( x^{-1} \) | \( \frac{1}{x} \) |
This table shows each expression with a negative exponent rewritten as a fraction with a positive exponent.
