Question

Apply the Property of Negative Integer Exponents to generate an expression equivalent to 3^−17/8^−14 with positive exponents only.

1 answer

To apply the Property of Negative Integer Exponents, we can rewrite the expression as:

(1/3^17)/(1/8^14)

Now, to remove the negative exponents and convert them to positive exponents, we can use the property a^(-n) = 1/(a^n).

(8^14)/(3^17)
