rewrite the following without an exponent.\n(-9)^{-1}
Answer
Answer:
$-\frac{1}{9}$
Explanation:
Step1: Apply negative - exponent rule
$a^{-n}=\frac{1}{a^{n}}$. Here $a = - 9$ and $n = 1$, so $(-9)^{-1}=\frac{1}{(-9)^{1}}$.
Step2: Simplify the expression
$(-9)^{1}=-9$, so $\frac{1}{(-9)^{1}}=-\frac{1}{9}$.
