Question

Simplify and write (2^-5÷4^2)x8^-1 in exponential form with positive exponents .​

Answer 1

Answer:

1/16

Step-by-step explanation:

As 2 is with the power of -5 so 1/2 raised to the power of 5 so answer is 1/32. 4 raised to the power 2 is 16. 1/32 ÷ 16 is 1/2. Now 8 raised to the power -1 is 8. 1/2 × 1/8 is 1/16 which is 1/4^2.

Properties used

First we did bracket one by the rule of BODMAS

Next any no. ^ of -no. is 1/no.
