Q. Write the expression as a fraction with a positive exponent.q31
Understand the problem: Understand the problem.We need to convert the expression with a negative exponent into a fraction with a positive exponent.
Apply negative exponent rule: Apply the negative exponent rule. The negative exponent rule states that a−n=an1 for any nonzero number a and any integer n. We will apply this rule to q−3.
Convert the expression: Convert the expression.Using the rule from Step 2, we can write q−3 as 1/(q3).
Check the result: Check the result.The expression q31 has a positive exponent, as required by the problem. There are no math errors in the conversion process.
