Remember that when there’s a negative power, to make the power positive you use the reciprocal. In other words for x^-3 (x to the power of -3), the power is positive when you flip the number around to become 1/x^3. For part (b) I solved up to that point try using the logic of negative and positive powers to find the answer.

Hope this makes sense!
