Question

1. Use the properties of exponents to write thefollowing expressions in simplest form. Writeanswers using positive exponents only (1 pt. each)C. 4z^-3

Answer 1

ANSWER

$\frac{4}{z^3}$

EXPLANATION

We have the exponent:

$4z^{-3}$

Using the negative exponent property, we have that:

$a^{-x}\text{ = }\frac{1}{a^x}$

So, we have:

$\begin{gathered} 4z^{-3}\text{ } \\ \text{= }\frac{4}{z^3} \end{gathered}$

That is the answer.
