Question

Write 15^-6 using a positive exponent

Answer 1

`(1)/(15^(6))`

Explanation:

If you see a negative sign in the power, you will place the number and power over 1:

15^-6 = 1/(15^6)

`(1)/(15^(6))`

Simplify. Solve 15^6:

15^6 = 15 * 15 * 15 * 15 * 15 * 15 = 11,390,625

1/11,390,625 is your simplified answer.

However, note that you are solving for a positive exponent. Your answer will be:

`(1)/(15^(6))`
