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

Answer 1

Answer:

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

Step-by-step 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 $\dfrac{8^{-11}}{1}$ and to get rid of that negative exponent, the $8^{-11}$ gets moved to the bottom and the exponent becomes positive.

    $8^{-11} = \dfrac{1}{8^{11}}$

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

    $\dfrac{1}{y^{-11}} = \dfrac{y^{11}}{1}$ 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?

    $\dfrac{1}{15^{-8}} = \dfrac{15^8}{1^1}$

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