To get rid of a negative exponent, move the part with the negative exponent to the other side of the_________(blank)

Respuesta :

Answer:

fraction

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have a negative exponent, such as [tex]x^{-2}[/tex], that can also be written as [tex]\frac{x^{-2} }{1}[/tex]

by moving the exponent (and it's base) to the denominator (the other side of the fraction, since it's in the numerator), you make the exponent positive: [tex]\frac{1}{x^{2} }[/tex]
