Simplifying formulas » Negative and fractional powers
In the following examples the answer has to be written as a power of a.
1a5 = a–5
= a15
= (a2)19 = a29
1a = 1a1 · a13 = 1a43 = a–43
In the following example the answer has to be written without negative and fractional powers.
a–34 · b–3 = 1a34 · 1b3 = 1 · 1b3
