(5-2) x (52) = (1/52) x (52) = 52/52 = 1
(-5)2 = (-5) * (-5) = + 25 [since -ve * -ve = +ve]
It's the inverse of the number raised to the power. 2 to the power of negative 3 would be 1/8th.1 over 25Improvement(shininggallade):When raising a whole number to a negative power, simply raise 5 to the second power, which is 25, and put a 1 over it. 5^-2=1/25 A more technical definition is to reverse the numerator and denominator and then apply the power. Remember 5 is the same as 5/1, so (5^-2)/1=1/(5^2)=1/25(The symbol for "to the power of" is "^" just to let you know.)
Negative 5 to the second power would be -5 times -5 which would be 25.
negative 0.0016
That is the definition of negative powers.
5-2 is 0.04
2
no, the answer is : 2 ^ -5 = 0.3125
5^-2
-5
2-5 = -32
it is a positive fraction 5^-2=1 over 5^2 answer is 1 over 25
(-5)-2 = 1/(-5)2 = 1/25 = 0.04
