Question

How do you simplify `(a^4c^2e^0)/(b^-1d^-3)` using only positive exponents?

Answer 1

`(a^4c^2e^0)/(b^-1d^-3) = 1a^4bc^2d^3`

Explanation:

`(a^4c^2e^0)/(b^-1d^-3)` to simplify this to all positive exponents there are three aspects of the expression that can be changed

any value to the zero exponent = 1
`e^0=1`

a negative exponent in the denominator can be made positive by moving the value to the numerator `1/b^-1 = b` and `1/d^-3 = d^3`

Therefore
`(a^4c^2e^0)/(b^-1d^-3) = 1a^4bc^2d^3`
