Answers
GPT 3.5
To rewrite 5^(9)*5^(-13) with only positive exponents, we can use the property of integer exponents which states that a^(-n) = 1/a^n.
So, 5^(9)*5^(-13) can be rewritten as:
5^(9) * 1/5^(13)
Now, we can simplify by subtracting the exponents:
5^(9-13) * 1
5^(-4) * 1
Finally, we can use the property of integer exponents once again to rewrite 5^(-4) as 1/5^4:
1/5^4 * 1
= 1/625
So, 5^(9)*5^(-13) with only positive exponents is 1/625.
So, 5^(9)*5^(-13) can be rewritten as:
5^(9) * 1/5^(13)
Now, we can simplify by subtracting the exponents:
5^(9-13) * 1
5^(-4) * 1
Finally, we can use the property of integer exponents once again to rewrite 5^(-4) as 1/5^4:
