Question

Write the expression with a single rational exponent 1/x to the -1 power

Answer 1

Given:

$\frac{1}{x}$

To Determine: The simplified fraction to its rational exponent to the power of -1

Solution

Apply the exponent rule below

$\frac{1}{a^n}=a^{-n}$

Apply the exponent rule above to the given fraction

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

Hence, 1/x = x ⁻¹
