To find the equivalent expression with only positive exponents, we can apply the properties of integer exponents. The expression 150 ⋅ 7−2 (−4)−3 can be written as:
150 ⋅ (72 ⋅ (−4)−3)
To simplify this expression, we can first simplify the innermost parentheses:
150 ⋅ (49 ⋅ (−4)−3)
Next, we can simplify the expression within the parentheses using the property of negative exponents:
150 ⋅ (49 ⋅ (-1/43))
Now we can simplify the expression further:
150 ⋅ (1921/43)
Simplifying the fraction:
150 ⋅ (361)
The final equivalent expression with only positive exponents is 36150.
