Rewrite using only positive exponents: x−5y3
how do you rewrite without negative exponents?
Yeah, Please try to make it understandable for the lower class people.
Thank you, Azaria

To rewrite the expression using only positive exponents, we need to follow a few steps:
Step 1: Identify the terms with negative exponents.
In the given expression, the term with a negative exponent is x^(-5).
Step 2: Apply the rule: x^(-n) = 1 / x^n
This means that any term with a negative exponent can be rewritten as the reciprocal of the same term with a positive exponent.
Step 3: Rewrite the expression without negative exponents.
Using the rule stated in Step 2, we can rewrite x^(-5) as 1 / x^5. The term y^3 already has a positive exponent, so we can leave it unchanged.
Therefore, the expression x^(-5)y^3 can be rewritten as 1 / x^5y^3.
lol, I'm confused but thanks for the help.
so confused
What? I do not understand.
Here is an example:
x^-5 becomes 1/x^5 -->flip to denominator (bottom) and make the exponent positive.
1/x^-5 becomes x^5 --->flip to numerator (top) and make the exponent positive.
