$x - 4 + x^{5}$

Step 1

Move $x^{1}$ in $\frac{x}{1}$ to the denominator and change the exponent from positive to negative.

$\frac{1}{x^{- 1}}$

Step 2

Rewrite $- 4$ as $- 2^{2}$ .

$\frac{- 2^{2}}{1}$

Step 3

Move $2^{2}$ in $\frac{- 2^{2}}{1}$ to the denominator and change the exponent from positive to negative.

$\frac{- 1}{2^{- 2}}$

Step 4

Move $x^{5}$ in $\frac{x^{5}}{1}$ to the denominator and change the exponent from positive to negative.

$\frac{1}{x^{- 5}}$

Step 5

Rewrite the expression with the negative exponents.

$\frac{1}{x^{- 1}} + \frac{- 1}{2^{- 2}} + \frac{1}{x^{- 5}}$
