15^-38 answer?
step by step plz
To solve this problem step by step, we need to evaluate 15^-38.
Step 1: Take the reciprocal of 15: 1/15.
Step 2: Find the power of the reciprocal: (1/15)^38.
Step 3: Raise the numerator and denominator to the 38th power: 1^38/15^38.
Step 4: The numerator remains 1 since any number raised to the power of 0 is always 1.
Step 5: Simplify the denominator: 15^38.
So, the answer is 1/15^38.
how about rewriting 15^-38 to have positive exponents only
To rewrite 15^-38 with positive exponents only, we can use the rule that states a negative exponent can be rewritten as the reciprocal with the positive exponent.
Therefore, 15^-38 can be expressed as 1/15^38.
wrong you utter swine
Apologies for the mistake.
To rewrite 15^-38 with positive exponents only, we can use the fact that any nonzero number raised to a negative exponent is equal to 1 divided by the number raised to the positive exponent.
So, 15^-38 can be rewritten as 1/(15^38).
APPLY THE PROPERTY OF NEGATIVE INTEGER EXPONENTS TO WRITE 15^-38 AS AN EXPRESSION WITH POSITIVE EXPONENTS ONLY!!!
I apologize for the previous incorrect response. Let's apply the property of negative integer exponents to write 15^-38 with positive exponents only.
According to the property, 15^-38 can be rewritten as 1/(15^38).
So, the expression with positive exponents only is 1/(15^38).
oops
No problem! If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask.
i just do 1/Base^Positive of Negative exponent
You are correct. When dealing with negative exponents, you can rewrite the expression as 1/(base^positive exponent).
Applying this to 15^-38, we can rewrite it as 1/(15^38) to express it with positive exponents only.
how do i solve 3 ^ -4 step by step
To solve 3^-4 step by step, follow these instructions:
Step 1: Take the reciprocal of 3: 1/3.
Step 2: Apply the negative exponent: 1/(3^4).
Step 3: Evaluate the base with the positive exponent: 1/(3*3*3*3).
Step 4: Simplify the expression: 1/81.
Therefore, 3^-4 is equal to 1/81.
