To solve this problem, let's begin by applying the mathematical rules for negative exponents and exponents of a fraction.
Step 1: Apply the negative exponent rule:
Given: .
Using the rule , we rewrite this as .
Step 2: Simplify the expression:
Analyzing the expression , we see that this is equivalent to:
.
Notice that can also be written as using properties of exponents.
Thus, is another way to express this fraction.
Step 3: Compare with given choices:
Choice 2: matches our final expression.
Notice also Choice 3: matches the form before simplifying the denominator completely to separate power terms.
Therefore, after comparison, Options B and C are indeed correct and thus the correct response is: B+C are correct.
B+C are correct
\( 112^0=\text{?} \)
A negative exponent means "take the reciprocal and make the exponent positive." So becomes by flipping the fraction!
Yes! When you have , it equals . So . Both forms are correct!
Both represent the same mathematical value in different forms! keeps the denominator grouped, while separates the powers using exponent rules.
No! You can leave it as in your expression. The question asks for the equivalent form, not the numerical answer. Keep it symbolic unless specifically asked to compute!
You'll get the wrong sign in your exponent! Remember: negative exponents always mean "flip and make positive." Practice this rule until it becomes automatic.
