Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When we have a fraction with a denominator in the form of a variable raised to a power, we can convert it to negative exponent form by moving the variable with its exponent to the numerator and changing the sign of the exponent to negative. Therefore, $\frac { 1 } { x ^ { 9 } }$ can be written as $x^{-9}$, making choice D the correct answer.
