HELP IM STRUGGLING

These examples show the application of the negative exponent property. Which two examples correctly apply this property?

Answer 1

Answers: Choice A and choice C

Reason:

The general rule is that
`a^(-b) = (1)/(a^b)` which can be rewritten as
`a^(b) = (1)/(a^(-b))`

This rule says that to make the exponent positive, we apply the reciprocal to the base.

Another example would be something like
`x^(-2) = (1)/(x^2)`
