${(x + 4)}^{- \frac{1}{4}} - {(x + 4)}^{- \frac{5}{4}}$

Step 1

Rewrite the expression using the negative exponent rule $b^{- n} = \frac{1}{b^{n}}$ .

$\frac{1}{{(x + 4)}^{\frac{1}{4}}} - {(x + 4)}^{- \frac{5}{4}}$

Step 2

Rewrite the expression using the negative exponent rule $b^{- n} = \frac{1}{b^{n}}$ .

$\frac{1}{{(x + 4)}^{\frac{1}{4}}} - \frac{1}{{(x + 4)}^{\frac{5}{4}}}$
