Question

write the expression as a whole number with a negative exponent. do not evaluate the expression.
$\frac{1}{51^{19}}$

Explanation:

Step1: Recall exponent rule

The rule is $\frac{1}{a^n}=a^{-n}$ where $a
eq0$ and $n$ is a positive - integer.

Step2: Apply the rule

For the expression $\frac{1}{51^{19}}$, using the rule $\frac{1}{a^n}=a^{-n}$ with $a = 51$ and $n = 19$, we get $51^{-19}$.

Answer:

$51^{-19}$
