This math topic focuses on mastering the exponent power laws, particularly with negative exponents and their application in simplifying expressions involving the multiplication of like bases presented in variable or negative exponential forms. The problems specifically emphasize on resolving expressions where variables are raised to negative powers and sometimes involve multiplying variables raised to fractional powers. The concepts are aimed at enhancing understanding of power rules and handling variables with negative and fractional exponents. Each problem requires identifying the correct simplified form from multiple choices provided.
