Question

Write the following expression without negative exponents and without parentheses. -4x^-1

Answer 1

Explanation:

Example:

`2a^(-1)`

To include the negative exponent, but discard the negative exponent, the expression has to be written as:

`2(1)/(a^(1) ) \: or \:2 (1)/(a)`

Using the example, we can determine that:

`-4x^(-1)=-4(1)/(x)`
