Question

Which expression is equivalent to (2^5)^-2

Answer 1

1/1024 is the correct answer. First you had to apply exponent rule, and it gave us, $\frac{1}{(2^5)^2}$, or $2^5^*^2$. Then you can also refine, and it gave us, $2^10$, or $\frac{1}{2^10}$. And it gave us the answer is $2^1^0=2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2=1024$, or 1/1024 is the correct answer. Hope this helps! And thank you for posting your question at here on brainly, and have a great day. -Charlie
