Apply the Property of Negative Integer Exponents to rewrite 9−23 as an expression with positive exponents only.(1 point)

Question

9−23=

Answer 1

To apply the property of negative integer exponents, we can rewrite 9 as 3^2 and then write it with a positive exponent by moving it to the denominator since the exponent is negative.

So, 9^(-2) can be rewritten as (3^2)^(-2).

Now, using the property (a^m)^n = a^(m*n), we can simplify the expression:

(3^2)^(-2) = 3^(2*(-2)) = 3^(-4).

Therefore, 9^(-2) can be rewritten as 3^(-4).
