Question

apply the property of negative integer exponents to generate an expression equivalent to 3^-17 / 8 ^-14

Answer 1

To apply the property of negative integer exponents, we can rewrite the expression as:

(8^14 / 3^17)

Let's simplify further:

8^14 = (2^3)^14 = 2^(3*14) = 2^42
3^17 = 3^17

Therefore, the expression simplified using the property of negative integer exponents is:

(2^42 / 3^17)
