Response
Let's solve problem 27: $\frac{x^{-1}}{x^{-4}}$
Step 1: Recall the exponent rule for division
When dividing two terms with the same base, we subtract the exponents: $\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m - n}$
So for $\frac{x^{-1}}{x^{-4}}$, we have $x^{-1 - (-4)}$
Step 2: Simplify the exponent
$-1 - (-4) = -1 + 4 = 3$
So the expression simplifies to $x^3$
