Question

How do you simplify `8n^-1` and write it using only positive exponents?

Answer 1

See the entire simplification process below:

Explanation:

We will use these two rules for exponents to complete this problem:

`x^color(red)(a) = 1/x^color(red)(-a)`

`a^color(red)(1) = a`

`8n^color(red)(-1) = 8/n^color(red)(- -1) = 8/n^color(red)(1) = 8/n`#
