3x1 -3 x^{-1}

Full solution

Q. 3x1 -3 x^{-1}
  1. Identify Negative Exponent: Identify the negative exponent and apply the rule that an=1ana^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n}.\newlineCalculation: 3x1=3×(1x1)-3x^{-1} = -3 \times \left(\frac{1}{x^1}\right)
  2. Apply Rule: Simplify the expression by recognizing that x1x^1 is just xx.\newlineCalculation: 3×(1/x1)=3/x-3 \times (1/x^1) = -3/x
