How do we simplify an expression by rewriting with a negative power

This video tutorial explains how to handle negative exponents using the properties of exponents. It covers the rules for converting negative exponents into positive ones by rewriting them in a fraction form. The tutorial provides examples of simplifying expressions with negative exponents and concludes with a summary of the key exponent rules.

What is the basic rule for handling a negative exponent?

• Multiply the base by the negative exponent

• Rewrite the base with a positive exponent in the denominator

• Subtract the negative exponent from the base

• Add the negative exponent to the base

How can you express A to the power of negative N as a positive exponent?

• 1 over A to the power of negative N

• 1 over A to the power of N

• A to the power of N

• A to the power of negative N

What happens to the base when you convert a negative exponent to a positive one?

• The base is squared

• The base remains unchanged

• The base is moved to the denominator

• The base is moved to the numerator

If you have X to the power of negative 3, how can you simplify it?

• 3 over X

• 1 over X to the power of 3

• X to the power of 3

• X to the power of negative 3

What is the result of simplifying 1 over X to the power of negative 3?

• 3 over X

• X to the power of negative 3

• 1 over X to the power of 3

• X to the power of 3
