Q. Write the expression as a fraction with a positive exponent. Do not evaluate the expression. 5131
Identify base and exponent: Identify the base and the exponent in the expression 5−13. In 5−13, 5 is the base raised to the exponent −13. Base: 5 Exponent: −13
Apply negative exponent rule: Apply the negative exponent rule to rewrite the expression with a positive exponent.The negative exponent rule states that a−m=am1 for any nonzero base a and any integer m.Therefore, 5−13 can be rewritten as 5131.
Write final expression: Write the final expression as a fraction with a positive exponent.The final expression is 5131, which is already in the form of a fraction with a positive exponent.
