Question

Apply the property of negative integer exponents to rewrite 15 to the power of -38 as an expression with positive exponents only

Answer 1

To rewrite \( 15^{-38} \) as an expression with positive exponents only, we can use the property of negative exponents, which states that:

\[
a^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n}
\]

Applying this property:

\[
15^{-38} = \frac{1}{15^{38}}
\]

Thus, the expression \( 15^{-38} \) can be rewritten as:

\[
\frac{1}{15^{38}}
\]
