$\frac{c^{- 4}}{c}$

Step 1

Move $c^{- 4}$ to the denominator using the negative exponent rule $b^{- n} = \frac{1}{b^{n}}$ .

$\frac{1}{c \cdot c^{4}}$

Step 2

Multiply $c$ by $c^{4}$ by adding the exponents.

Step 2.1.1

Raise $c$ to the power of $1$ .

$\frac{1}{c^{1} c^{4}}$

Step 2.1.2

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$\frac{1}{c^{1 + 4}}$

Step 2.2

Add $1$ and $4$ .

$\frac{1}{c^{5}}$
