How to simplify a rational exponent raised to a negative power

The video tutorial explains the power rule for exponents, demonstrating how to apply it by multiplying powers when an exponent is raised to another power. It also covers the rule for handling negative exponents, showing how to convert them into positive exponents by placing them in the denominator. The tutorial concludes with a final example and solution.

What is the result when you apply the power rule to an exponent raised to another power?

• You divide the exponents.

• You add the exponents.

• You subtract the exponents.

• You multiply the exponents.

If you have a negative exponent in the numerator, how can you express it as a positive exponent?

• By writing it in the denominator.

• By adding 1 to the exponent.

• By subtracting 1 from the exponent.

• By multiplying the exponent by -1.

What is the final answer when you simplify 1 divided by Y to the negative sixth power?

• 1 divided by Y to the sixth power.

• Y to the negative sixth power.

• Y to the sixth power.

• 6 divided by Y.
