To rewrite the expression using only positive exponents, we need to move the x with a negative exponent to the denominator. Recall that any expression with a negative exponent can be rewritten as the reciprocal of the same expression with a positive exponent.
Therefore, we can rewrite x^(-5) as 1/x^5.
