Answer:

In this equation x is equal to -5.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we first have to note for the base (2) to be larger than the answer (1/32), the exponent would have to be negative. We also can note that 2^5 is equal to 32, which allows us to know that the negated version would give us 1/32.

2^-5 = 1/32

(-4)(-4) use an exponent to rewrite the expression

DiKsa [7]

For this case we have the following expression:
<span> $(-4)(-4) 
$
By properties of exponents we have:
Same basis, the exponents are added.
We have then:
$(-4)^{1+1}$
Then, rewriting the exponent we have:
$(-4)^{2}$
Therefore, an exponent to rewrite the expression is:
2
Answer:
$(-4)^{2}$
an exponent to rewrite the expression is 2.</span>
