Question

How do you express `d^-3` as a positive exponent?

Answer 1

`1/d^3`

Explanation:

To re-write negative exponents, just create a new expression in which the power with the negative exponent is moved to the denominator as a positive exponent.

`x^-m = 1/x^m`

Answer 2

`1/d^3`

Explanation:

A negative exponent means to divide. By placing the exponent in the denominator it can be written as a positive exponent.

`d^-3 = 1/ (d xx d xx d)`

`1/d xx d xx d = 1/d^3`
