Question

Write without negative exponents a6a -5q -9p5( the exponents are 6, -5, -9, and 5

Answer 1

As we have to write without negative exponents:

According to rule of exponents:

`\begin{gathered} a^(-m)=(1)/(a^m) \\ (1)/(a^(-m))=a^m \end{gathered}`

So the given exponents are:

`a^6`

As it is already positive so we don't have to change it.

`a^(-5)=(1)/(a^5)`
`q^(-9)=(1)/(q^9)`

And the last one is:

`p^5`

As it is also positive so we don't have to change it.
