Question

Simplify the expression 52 negituve power of 5

Answer 1

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{negative exponents} \\\\ a^{-n} \implies \cfrac{1}{a^n} \qquad \qquad \cfrac{1}{a^n}\implies a^{-n} \qquad \qquad a^n\implies \cfrac{1}{a^{-n}} \\\\ -------------------------------\\\\ 52^{-5}\implies \cfrac{1}{52^5}\implies \cfrac{1}{52}\cdot \cfrac{1}{52}\cdot \cfrac{1}{52}\cdot \cfrac{1}{52}\cdot \cfrac{1}{52}\implies \cfrac{1}{380204032}$
