Question #b5783

Answer 1

See the entire solution process below:

Explanation:

Use this rule of exponents to remove the negative exponent:

`x^color(red)(a) = 1/x^color(red)(-a)`

`(sqrt(3))^color(red)(-1) = 1/(sqrt(3))^color(red)(- -1) = 1/(sqrt(3))^1`

Now, use this rule of exponents to complete the simplification:

`a^color(red)(1) = a`

`1/(sqrt(3))^1 = 1/sqrt(3)`
