Evaluate (x^5)/(x^-2)

$\frac{x^{5}}{x^{- 2}}$

Step 1

Move $x^{- 2}$ to the numerator using the negative exponent rule $\frac{1}{b^{- n}} = b^{n}$ .

$x^{5} x^{2}$

Step 2

Multiply $x^{5}$ by $x^{2}$ by adding the exponents.

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$x^{5 + 2}$

Add $5$ and $2$ .

$x^{7}$

$x^{7}$
