Simplifying an expression with a negative exponent in the denominator, and a formula that makes it easier.
Expressions that include a negative exponent can be simplified by first rewriting the expression with positive exponents.
The rules for exponents begin with the rule for multiplying two factors with the same base.
A simplified expression is one in which each base is written only once, there are no negative exponents, and no parentheses. Simplifying an expression makes it easier to solve complex problems, and using the rules for exponents makes simplifying exp...
