Question

Which is equivalent to x^3 y^-7

Answer 1

For this case we must find an expression equivalent to:

$x ^ 3 * y ^ {- 7}$

By definition of power properties we have to meet:

$a ^ {-1} = \frac {1} {a ^ 1} = \frac {1} {a}$

Then, we can rewrite the expression as:

$x ^ 3 * \frac {1} {y ^ 7} =\\\frac {x ^ 3} {y ^ 7}$

Answer:

$\frac {x ^ 3} {y ^ 7}$
