Write the following expression without negative exponents and without parentheses.
(9x)^-1


Sagot :

Answer:

1/9x

Step-by-step explanation:

The parenthesis around the 9x means that the -1 exponent goes to the whole thing (the 9x) To "fix" a negative exponent push the 9x across a fraction bar to make the exponent positive. When you push the 9x down across a fraction bar that leaves a 1 on top of the fraction, that has nothing to do with the 1 exponent. Its a 1 on top because when you push the 9x down there is nothing left on top so it is a 1.

(9x)^-1

= 1/9x

To be clear, this is a 1 one top and a 9x on the bottom of a fraction.
