Apply the Property of Negative Integer Exponents to rewrite 15−38 as an expression with positive exponents only.(1 point)
15−38=
To rewrite 15^-38 with positive exponents only, we can use the property of negative exponents which states that a negative exponent is equal to the reciprocal of the base raised to the positive exponent.
So, 15^-38 can be rewritten as 1/(15^38).
wrong
Apologies for the mistake.
To rewrite 15^-38 with positive exponents only, we use the property of negative exponents which states that a negative exponent is equal to the reciprocal of the base raised to the positive exponent.
So, 15^-38 = 1/(15^38) is the correct expression.
To apply the property of negative integer exponents, we can write 15^-38 as (1/15^38).
To apply the property of negative integer exponents, we need to remember that:
a^(-n) = 1 / a^n
So, to rewrite 15^(-38) as an expression with positive exponents only, we can use the property mentioned above:
15^(-38) = 1 / 15^(38)
Therefore, the expression with positive exponents only would be 1 / 15^(38).
