Question

5^-5=
how do i solve this

Answer 1

Answer:

Hello

Step-by-step explanation:

When you have a negative exponent you must follow a different formula.

If your problem were positive you would just multiply 5 by 5 5 times. But now, you have to divide:

1/5*5*5*5*5= 1/5^5

When you divide, you can make your exponent positive- which we want.

So now 1/5^5 can be solved to

1/3125
