Q. Write the expression as a fraction with a positive exponent. m61
Understand the problem: Understand the problem.We need to convert the expression with a negative exponent into a fraction with a positive exponent.
Apply the negative exponent rule: Apply the negative exponent rule.The negative exponent rule states that a−n=an1 for any nonzero number a and positive integer n. We will apply this rule to m−6.
Convert the expression: Convert the expression.Using the rule from Step 2, we can write m−6 as 1/m6.
Check the result: Check the result.The expression m61 has a positive exponent, as required. There are no mathematical operations left to perform, so there is no math error.
