Express using negative exponents $$ \frac{1}{x} $$ $$ \frac{1}{x}=\square $$

Question

UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

To express $$\frac{1}{x}$$ using a negative exponent, you can rewrite it as:

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

**Explanation:**

A negative exponent indicates the reciprocal of the base raised to the positive exponent. Specifically:

$$
x^{-n} = \frac{1}{x^n}
$$

In this case, $$n = 1$$, so:

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

Express using negative exponents \( \frac{1}{x} \) \( \frac{1}{x}=\square \)
