Question

by what number should one upon to power minus 2 be multiplied so that the product is 5 minus upon for power minus one

Answer 1

Multiply (or distribute) the exponent outside the parenthesis with every exponent inside the parenthesis, remember that if there is no exponent shown, then the exponent is 1. Step 3: Apply the Negative Exponent Rule. Negative exponents in the numerator get moved to the denominator and become positive exponents.
