Answer 1

So whats the answer?

Answer 2

To simplify the expression \(15^{-7} \cdot 29^{-5}\) using the Property of Negative Integer Exponents, we can rewrite it as follows:

\[
15^{-7} = \frac{1}{15^7} \quad \text{and} \quad 29^{-5} = \frac{1}{29^5}
\]

Thus,

\[
15^{-7} \cdot 29^{-5} = \frac{1}{15^7} \cdot \frac{1}{29^5} = \frac{1}{15^7 \cdot 29^5}
\]

This means we can write it as:

\[
\frac{1}{15^7 \cdot 29^5} = \frac{1}{15^7 \cdot 29^5} \quad \text{or} \quad \frac{1}{15^7 \cdot 29^5}
\]

Looking at the options you provided:

- \( \frac{29^5}{15^7} \) (not equivalent)
- \( \frac{15^7}{29^5} \) (not equivalent)
- \( \frac{1}{15^7 \cdot 29^5} \) (this is equivalent)
- \( 15 \cdot 29^{15} \) (not equivalent)

The equivalent expression is:

\[
\frac{1}{15^7 \cdot 29^5}
\]

So the correct answer is:

**\( \frac{1}{15^7 \cdot 29^5} \)**.

Answer 3

The equivalent expression to \(15^{-7} \cdot 29^{-5}\) is:

**\( \frac{1}{15^7 \cdot 29^5} \)**.

This corresponds to the option:

**\( \frac{1}{15^7 \cdot 29^5} \)**.
