Q. Write the expression as a whole number with a negative exponent. Do not evaluate the expression.76381
Identify Base and Exponent: Identify the base and the exponent in the given expression.In 76381, 76 is the base raised to the exponent 38, and the entire expression is in the denominator.Base: 76Exponent: 38
Apply Negative Exponent Rule: Apply the negative exponent rule to rewrite the expression.The negative exponent rule states that a−m=am1. Therefore, we can write 76381 as 76−38.
Check Expression Format: Check if the expression is now written as a whole number with a negative exponent.The expression 76−38 is indeed a whole number (76) with a negative exponent (−38), which satisfies the requirement of the question prompt.
