simplify (-x^3)/(x^4)

Solution

simplify

\frac{- x ^{3}}{x ^{4}}

Solution

- \frac{1}{x}

Solution steps

\frac{- x ^{3}}{x ^{4}}

Apply exponent rule:

\frac{x ^{a}}{x ^{b}} = x^{a - b}

= - x^{3 - 4}

Subtract the numbers:

3 - 4 = - 1

= - x^{- 1}

Apply exponent rule:

a^{- 1} = \frac{1}{a}

= - \frac{1}{x}

Popular Examples

\frac{3}{4} = y - \frac{1}{5} (8)

\frac{b - 8}{- 2} = 11

simplify 4/20*100 simplify

\frac{4}{20} \cdot 100

simplify ((2x^4)/(3y))^2 simplify

(\frac{2 x ^{4}}{3 y})^{2}

m/6-m/(10)= 4/3

\frac{m}{6} - \frac{m}{10} = \frac{4}{3}
