Question

Simplify so that your answer contains only positive exponents

​

Answer 1

`3x^(8)`

Explanation:

`(x^(-2))^(2)` is equal to
`x^(-4)`. Whenever an x has a negative exponent, it means that you can put it to the other side, whether it be from denominator to numerator or numerator to denominator. In this case, because it is in the bottom it goes from denominator to numerator. You will end up with something like
`3x^(4) x^(4)` but you can add the X's and end up with the answer.

Answer 2

Explanation:

`(3x^4)/(((1)/(x^2))^2) \\= 3x^8`
