Apply the property negative integer exponents to rewrite 15^-38 as an expression with positive exponents only
To rewrite 15^-38 as an expression with positive exponents only, we can apply the property of negative integer exponents, which states that a^(-n) = 1/(a^n).
So, 15^-38 can be rewritten as:
1/(15^38)
To rewrite 15^-38 as an expression with positive exponents only, we can use the property that a negative exponent can be rewritten as the reciprocal with a positive exponent.
So, let's start with 15^-38:
15^-38
Using the property, we can rewrite this as:
1 / 15^38
Therefore, 15^-38 can be expressed with positive exponents only as 1 / 15^38.
To apply the property of negative integer exponents, we can rewrite the expression 15^-38 using positive exponents only.
The property states that any nonzero number raised to a negative exponent can be written as the reciprocal of the number raised to the positive exponent.
For example, if we have a number a and it is raised to the power of -n, we can rewrite it as 1/a^n.
In the case of 15^-38, we can rewrite it as:
1/15^38
So the expression with positive exponents only is 1/15^38.
