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

Answer 1

To apply the property of negative integer exponents, we can take the reciprocal of each base and change the sign of the exponent to make them positive.

So, we can rewrite the expression as:

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

Simplifying further:

1 / (3^17) * 8^14

Now, we have the expression with positive exponents only.
