Full solution

Q. Write the expression as a whole number with a negative exponent. Do not evaluate the expression.\newline1156\frac{1}{15^6}
  1. Identify base and exponent: Identify the base and the exponent in the given expression 1156\frac{1}{15^6}.\newlineThe base is 1515 and the exponent is 66. The expression is in the form of a fraction where 15615^6 is in the denominator.
  2. Apply negative exponent rule: Apply the negative exponent rule to rewrite the expression.\newlineThe negative exponent rule states that am=1ama^{-m} = \frac{1}{a^m}. To write 1156\frac{1}{15^6} with a negative exponent, we can apply this rule in reverse, which gives us 15615^{-6}.
  3. Check expression: Check the expression to ensure it is written as a whole number with a negative exponent.\newlineThe expression 15615^{-6} is indeed a whole number (1515) with a negative exponent (6-6), and it is equivalent to the original expression 1156\frac{1}{15^6}.
