To apply the property of negative integer exponents, we need to take the reciprocal of the base and change the sign of the exponent.
So, 15^−38 can be rewritten as 1 / 15^38.
Therefore, 15^−38 = 1 / 15^38.
To apply the property of negative integer exponents, we use the fact that for any non-zero number a, a^(-n) is equal to 1/a^n.
Therefore, to rewrite 15^(-38) with positive exponents only, we can write it as 1/15^38.
So, 15^(-38) is equal to 1/15^38.
