Q. Write the expression as a whole number with a negative exponent. Do not evaluate the expression.2261
Identify Base and Exponent: Identify the base and the exponent in the given expression.In 2261, 22 is the base raised to the exponent 6, and the entire expression is in the denominator.Base: 22Exponent: 6
Apply Negative Exponent Rule: Apply the negative exponent rule to rewrite the expression.The negative exponent rule states that a−m=am1. To write 2261 as a whole number with a negative exponent, we can apply this rule in reverse.So, 2261 can be written as 22−6.
