Question

apply the property of negative integer exponents to generate an expression equivalent to 3^-17 over 8^-14 with positive exponents only.

Answer 1

To apply the property of negative integer exponents, we can flip the fractions and change the sign of the exponents.

Therefore, 3^-17 over 8^-14 is equivalent to

(1/3^17) / (1/8^14)

Now, to make the exponents positive, we can rewrite the expression as:

(8^14) / (3^17)

Therefore, the expression equivalent to 3^-17 over 8^-14 with positive exponents only is (8^14) / (3^17).
