Question

Solve for u: u^3u^-9. I need this without negative exponents.

Answer 1

EXPLANATION

Given the equation u^3u^9

In this case, we have a product of powers with the same base, so by the properties of the powers, we should add both exponents.

In this case, the adittion is as follows:

3 + (-9) = 3 - 9 = -6

So the power now has a negative exponent, so we need to reverse the fraction in order to get a positive exponent

`u^(-6)`

Reversing the expression:

`(1)/(u^6)`
