Express 1e3x\frac{1}{e^{3x}} with positive exponents.

A

e3xe^{-3x}

B

e3x-e^{3x}

C

e3/xe^{3/x}

D

3xe\frac{3x}{e}

Correct Answer: A

Choice A is the correct answer. Use negative exponent rule.

  1. Rule: 1am=am\frac{1}{a^m} = a^{-m}.
  2. Apply: 1e3x=e3x\frac{1}{e^{3x}} = e^{-3x}.

💡 Strategic Tip: Negative exponents indicate reciprocals.

Choice B is incorrect because negative sign goes in exponent, not coefficient. Choice C is incorrect because this changes the expression entirely. Choice D is incorrect because this is not equivalent.
