Simplify x^-3y^-2z

$x^{- 3} y^{- 2} z$

Step 1

Rewrite the expression using the negative exponent rule $b^{- n} = \frac{1}{b^{n}}$ .

$\frac{1}{x^{3}} y^{- 2} z$

Step 2

Rewrite the expression using the negative exponent rule $b^{- n} = \frac{1}{b^{n}}$ .

$\frac{1}{x^{3}} \cdot \frac{1}{y^{2}} z$

Step 3

Combine.

$\frac{1 \cdot 1}{x^{3} y^{2}} z$

Step 4

Multiply $1$ by $1$ .

$\frac{1}{x^{3} y^{2}} z$

Step 5

Combine $\frac{1}{x^{3} y^{2}}$ and $z$ .

$\frac{z}{x^{3} y^{2}}$
