Full solution

Q. Write the expression as a fraction with a positive exponent. Do not evaluate the expression.

\newline

\frac{1}{47^{16}}

Identify Base and Exponent: Identify the base and the exponent in the expression $47^{-16}$ . In this expression, $47$ is the base and $-16$ is the exponent. Base: $47$ Exponent: $-16$
Apply Negative Exponent Rule: Apply the negative exponent rule to rewrite the expression with a positive exponent. $\newline$ The negative exponent rule states that $a^{-m} = \frac{1}{a^m}$ , where $a$ is the base and $m$ is the positive exponent. $\newline$ Therefore, $47^{-16}$ can be rewritten as $\frac{1}{47^{16}}$ .
