m^-6 = 1/m^6
is how you would do it, without changing the value of the number represented.
can someone please tell me if this is right or this simple really? the question is to express using a positive exponent. m^-6 so do you really just change it to m^6 so that it is positive? Or how do you go about that?

where does the 1 come in?
anything to a negative power is the inverse, or one over, the same thing to the positive power.
a^-b = 1/a^b
a^-b = 1/a^b
