Terms that have exponentials and the same base can have their exponentials added together, to get to
$c^{2} v^{9}$ $c^2v^9$

I'm assuming we are answering the question asked (with the c and v terms). In case the v was meant to be a c, I'll do that next.

Start with the original:

$c^{3} v^{9} c^{- 1} c^{0}$ $c^3v^9c^-1c^0$

We can take terms with the same base and add their exponents together, like this:

$c^{3 - 1 + 0} v^{9}$ $c^(3-1+0)v^9$

$c^{2} v^{9}$ $c^2v^9$

In case all the terms are meant to be c terms, it'd look like:

$c^{3 + 9 - 1 + 0}$ $c^(3+9-1+0)$

$c^{11}$ $c^11$
