Apply the property of negative integer exponents to rewrite 15-38 as an expression with positive exponents only. (1point)
15-38 can be rewritten using the property of negative integer exponents as 15^(-1)-38^(-1).
To apply the property of negative integer exponents, we can rewrite 15^(-38) as 1/15^38.
To rewrite 15^-38 as an expression with positive exponents only, we can apply the property of negative exponents, which states that any nonzero number raised to a negative exponent is equal to the reciprocal of that number raised to the positive exponent.
In this case, we have 15^-38. To rewrite this expression, we need to find the reciprocal of 15 and raise it to the positive exponent.
The reciprocal of 15 is 1/15. Therefore, we can rewrite 15^-38 as (1/15)^38.
So, the expression with positive exponents only is (1/15)^38.
