How do you simplify with no negative exponents?

Question

(1/2h^-3j^-4k^-2)

(move negatives to numerator)

Answer 1

The cool thing about exponents is there's no such thing as a negative exponent. When you see a negative exponent, it just means that it needs to swap its place in the numerator or denominator. So your problem

1/(2h^-2j^-4k^-2) is the exact same thing as saying (h²j⁴k²) / 2
