15^-38 answer?
step by step plz
To solve this problem step by step, we need to evaluate 15^-38.
Step 1: Take the reciprocal of 15: 1/15.
Step 2: Find the power of the reciprocal: (1/15)^38.
Step 3: Raise the numerator and denominator to the 38th power: 1^38/15^38.
Step 4: The numerator remains 1 since any number raised to the power of 0 is always 1.
Step 5: Simplify the denominator: 15^38.
So, the answer is 1/15^38.
how about rewriting 15^-38 to have positive exponents only
To rewrite 15^-38 with positive exponents only, we can use the rule that states a negative exponent can be rewritten as the reciprocal with the positive exponent.
Therefore, 15^-38 can be expressed as 1/15^38.
wrong you utter swine
Apologies for the mistake.
To rewrite 15^-38 with positive exponents only, we can use the fact that any nonzero number raised to a negative exponent is equal to 1 divided by the number raised to the positive exponent.
So, 15^-38 can be rewritten as 1/(15^38).
APPLY THE PROPERTY OF NEGATIVE INTEGER EXPONENTS TO WRITE 15^-38 AS AN EXPRESSION WITH POSITIVE EXPONENTS ONLY!!!
I apologize for the previous incorrect response. Let's apply the property of negative integer exponents to write 15^-38 with positive exponents only.
According to the property, 15^-38 can be rewritten as 1/(15^38).
So, the expression with positive exponents only is 1/(15^38).
