Question

simplify.

\\v^{-5} \cdot v^{-2}\\

write your answer with a positive exponent only.

Explanation:

Apply the product rule of exponents

$$ v^{-5} \cdot v^{-2} = v^{-5 + (-2)} = v^{-7} $$

Rewrite with a positive exponent

$$ v^{-7} = \frac{1}{v^7} $$

Answer:

Simplify.
\(v^{-5} \cdot v^{-2}\)
