Question

Will give brainless-est please help with this cant figure it out NO LINKS PLEASE they don't work

Answer 1

15^8 / 1^1 (^ is to the power of, exponents)

Explanation:

just like the example answer, 4^2 turns into 4^2 / 1.

IMPORTANT!! if the exponent in the denominator (bottom), negative the expression will be moved to the numerator (top) and become positive.

Answer 2

A negative exponent means that factor is on the wrong side of the fraction.

For example,
`8^(-11)` can be written as
`(8^(-11))/(1)` and to get rid of that negative exponent, the
`8^(-11)` gets moved to the bottom and the exponent becomes positive.

`8^(-11) = (1)/(8^(11))`

And if the exponent is negative in the bottom, then you move that factor to the top:

`(1)/(y^(-11)) = (y^(11))/(1)` and we just write that as
`y^(11)`, since the "over 1" isn't needed.

Based on what we just talked about above, how would you rewrite that with a positive exponent?

`(1)/(15^(-8)) = (15^8)/(1^1)`

And that
`1^1` is only required because of that system you're using.
