Im not sure on the syntax here, but i assume the question is (4/9)^-1

(4/9)^-1
= (4^-1)/(9^-1)

A negative power is an inverse of the positive power
i.e. x^-2 = 1/x^2
This is because if we have say x^3/x^5 we simplify it by cancelling x^3 which gives 1/x^2.
Another way to think of it is to subtract the power of the bottom x from the power of the top x: 3-5 = -2 so x^3/x^5 = x^-2.
I hope this explains how negitive powers are the inverse of the positive power.

So....
(4^-1)/(9^-1)
= 9/4
Because the inverse of 4 is 1/4 and the inverse of 1/9 is 9

Isaac is on the 4th floor of a building. If he rides an elevator up 7 floors, what floor will he be on?
Lady_Fox [76]
An integer is a whole number.

1) if Isaac is on the 4th floor and goes up 7, that is 4 + 7= 11. So he is on the 11th floor.

2) the integer representing the floor he is starting on is 4 because that is the whole number associated with "4th."

3) the integer representing how many floors he will rise is 7.

4) the elevator will stop at 11.

Hope this helps! :)
