THIS is your rendered expression:
9%5E-1+9%5E1%2F2

Notation is important.

You want this, right?:
%289%29%5E%28-1%29%2A9%5E%281%2F2%29

Same as 9%5E%281%2F2%29%2F9.


(The rendering is not fully displaying the exponent.)

9^(-1) * 9^(1/2)
9^(-1 + 1/2)
9^(-2/2 + 1/2)
9^(-1/2)
(1/9)^(1/2)

simplify the following expression, with my answer having positive exponents?
(9^-1)*(9^1/2) = 9^(-1+(1/2)) = 9^(-1/2) = 1/sqrt(9) = 1/3

How do I simplify the following expression, with my answer having positive exponents?
9^-1 9^1/2
If 9(-1) * 91/2, then we get: 9(-1 + 1/2)______9-1/2_____1%2F9%5E%281%2F2%29, or 1%2Fsqrt%289%29, or highlight_green%281%2F3%29
