Question

I’m not very good at math so I need the answer for this can anyone help me out with the answers 20 points worth

Answer 1

Answer:

$2^{-4}$ = $\frac{1}{16}$

~ 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 is 16, but since the exponent is a negative it would be 1/16

$2^{5}$ = 32

~ 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 is 32

$5^{-2}$ = $\frac{1}{25}$

~ 5 x 5 is 25, but since the exponent is a negative, it would be 1/25

$5^{3}$ = 125

~ 5 x 5 x 5 is 125

(When the exponent is a negative, the answer will be a fraction)

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer: See below

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, it is important to know the exponent properties. If something is to a negative power, you know that it is going to be an inverse, meaning it becomes 1 over the power.

2⁻⁴

Since this exponent is negative, we know it is going to be 1 over to make it positive.

1/2⁴=1/16

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2⁵

This exponent is positive. Therefore, we can just multiply 2 by 2 five times.

2⁵=32

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5⁻²

Since this exponent is negative, we know it is going to be 1 over to make it positive.

1/5²=1/25

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5³

This exponent is positive. Therefore, we can just multiply 5 by 5 three times.

5³=125
