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

Answer 1

To rewrite \( 15^{-38} \) with positive exponents, you can apply the property of negative exponents, which states that \( a^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n} \).

So,

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

Therefore, the expression with positive exponents only is:

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