Apply the Property of Negative Integer Exponents to rewrite 15− superscript 38
as an expression with positive exponents only.(1 point)
15− superscript 38=

Answer 1

To rewrite \( 15^{-38} \) using positive exponents only, you can apply the property of negative integer exponents. This property states that:

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

Using this property, we can rewrite \( 15^{-38} \) as:

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

So the expression with positive exponents only is:

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