To simplify: The given term and give answer in terms of positive exponents.

Answer to Problem 10MRE

The simplification of the given termis $\frac{1}{b^7}$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The given term is $\frac{b^{-4}}{b^3}$ .

Calculation:

The simplification of the given term is written as,

  $\frac{b^{-4}}{b^3}=\frac{1}{b^7}$

Therefore, the simplification of the given termis $\frac{1}{b^7}$ .
