Answer 1

To express \((n + 2)^{-13}\) in terms of a base raised to a positive exponent, we can apply the rule of exponents that states:

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

Applying this rule to our expression:

\[
(n + 2)^{-13} = \frac{1}{(n + 2)^{13}}
\]

Thus, the answer is:

\[
(n + 2)^{-13} = \frac{1}{(n + 2)^{13}}
\]

This expresses the original expression in terms of a base raised to a positive exponent.
