Full solution

Q. Write the expression as a variable with a negative exponent. \newline1x2\frac{1}{x^2}
  1. Understand the problem: Understand the problem.\newlineWe need to express the given fraction 1/x21/x^2 using a negative exponent.
  2. Apply negative exponent rule: Apply the negative exponent rule.\newlineThe negative exponent rule states that an=1ana^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n}. We can apply this rule in reverse to write 1x2\frac{1}{x^2} as xx raised to a negative exponent.
  3. Write with negative exponent: Write the expression with a negative exponent.\newlineUsing the rule from Step 22, we can write 1/x21/x^2 as x(2)x^{(-2)}.
