Apple the Property of Negative Integer Exponents to rewrite 15^-38 as an expression with positive exponents only

5 answers

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

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

Applying this property to \( 15^{-38} \):

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

Thus, the expression \( 15^{-38} \) rewritten with positive exponents only is:

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

1 15^38 is the answer?

The answer is not just \( 15^{38} \); rather, it is expressed as:

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

This expression represents \( 15^{-38} \) using only positive exponents. The positive exponent is \( 15^{38} \), but it is in the denominator, making the entire expression \( \frac{1}{15^{38}} \).
