Simplify each expression and eliminate any negative exponent

Simplify each expression, and eliminate any negative exponent(s). (3a/b^4)^-1 (q^-1 r^-1 s^-3/r^-8 sq^-6)^1 Graph the function, not by plotting points, but by starting from the graphs g(x) = ln(x + 1)

Solution

Use exponent properties : (a^x)^y = a^(x*y) ; 1/a = a^-1

a) (3a/b^4)^-1

3^-1a^-1/b^-4

b^4/3a

b) {(q^-1r^-1s^-3)/(r^-8sq^-6)}^-1

(q*r*s^3)/(r^8s^-1q^6)

s^4/(q^5r^7)
