Power Law with Variable Base (Negatives, Exponent with Power to Exponent) (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on practicing the Power Law of exponents with variable bases that involve negative exponents. The problems challenge students to compute the result when terms involving variables raised to negative exponents are themselves raised to another exponent. Each question provides a base expression with a negative exponent and asks for the simplified form after applying the exponent to the exponent law. The worksheet is part of a broader study on handling exponents that are negative, fractional, or involve power laws.
