Answer 1

Given : A pattern , 5³ = 125  , 5²  = 25  , 5¹  = 5  , 5⁰ = 1  , 5⁻¹ = 1/5 , 5⁻² = 1/25

To find : What is the pattern as the exponents decrease

Solution:

Given Pattern is

5³ = 125

5²  = 25

5¹  = 5

5⁰ = 1

5⁻¹ = 1/5

5⁻² = 1/25

Pattern is  

divide the previous value by 5

subtract 5 from the previous value  Wrong  as 125 - 5 = 120 ≠ 25

subtract 100 from the previous value Wrong 25 - 100 = -75 ≠  5

divide the previous value by 25  125/25 = 5  ≠ 25

divide the previous value by 5

125/5  = 25

25/5 = 5

5/5 = 1

1/5  = 1/5

(1/5)/5 = 1/25

divide the previous value by 5 is the pattern
