It is equivalent to 1 over 5 to the power of 5, or 1 over 3125.
It is -1/5
If you mean 5 to the power of -1 then it is 1/5
1/5
That is the definition of negative powers.

When a number is raised to a negative exponent, it means the reciprocal of that number raised to the positive exponent. Therefore, 5 to the power of -1 is equal to 1/5, or 0.2. This is because any number raised to the power of -1 is the multiplicative inverse of that number, which is the reciprocal.
It is: 25
Negative exponents mean the reciprocal. 5^(-5) = 1/(5^5)=1/3125
5-1 = 1/5 or 0.2
(1/5)-1 = 1 / (1/5) = 5
(-5)-2 = 1/(-5)2 = 1/25 = 0.04
For negative exponents, there is a simple formula: 5-4 = 1/54 = 1/625.
