Apply the Property of Negative Integer Exponents to rewrite 9^−23

Question

 as an expression with positive exponents only.

Answer 1

According to the property of negative integer exponents, for any nonzero number \( a \) and any integer \( n \), the expression \( a^{-n} \) can be rewritten as:

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

Applying this property to \( 9^{-23} \):

\[ 9^{-23} = \frac{1}{9^{23}} \]

Thus, \( 9^{-23} \) rewritten as an expression with positive exponents only is:

\[ \frac{1}{9^{23}} \]
