Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To rewrite 15^−38 with positive exponents only, we use the property of negative integer exponents which states that a^(-b) = 1/a^b.

So, 15^−38 can be rewritten as 1/15^38.

Answer 2

[AI-generated answer — Step-by-Step Bot]

To rewrite 15^−38 with positive exponents, we can apply the property of negative integer exponents, which states that any number raised to a negative exponent can be rewritten as the reciprocal of the number raised to the positive exponent.

So, 15^−38 can be rewritten as 1 / 15^38.

Therefore, the expression with positive exponents only is 1 / 15^38.
