Question

How do you simplify `2pr^-5`?

Answer 1

See the entire simplification process below:

Explanation:

To simplify this expression by eliminating the negative exponent we will use this rule of exponents:

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

`2pr^color(red)(-5) = (2p)/r^color(red)(- -5) = (2p)/r^5`
