It is not proper to write answers with negative exponents. How do we "take care of" negative exponents?

Create a fraction with the base on the bottom and a positive exponent. Example: $$x^{-3}=\frac{1}{x^3}$$

Just make the exponent positive. Example: $$x^{-3}=x^3$$

Write no solution if there is a negative exponent

Just leave the negative exponent. It is mathematically okay.

When you see a negative exponent... (check ALL that apply)

... if it is in the numerator, flip it to the denominator and make the exponent positive

... if it is in the denominator, flip it to the numerator and make the exponent positive

... if it is in the numerator, keep it there and make the exponent positive

... if it is in the denominator, keep it there and make the exponent positive
