QuestionSimplify $x^{-7}$ to use only positive exponents.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The given expression is $x^{-7}$ . . to rewrite this expression using only positive exponents.

STEP 2

The rule for changing the sign of an exponent is to take the reciprocal of the base. This means that $x^{-n} = \frac{1}{x^n}$ .

STEP 3

Apply this rule to the given expression.
$x^{-7} = \frac{1}{x^7}$ So, the expression $x^{-7}$ simplified using only positive exponents is $\frac{1}{x^7}$ .
