Answer:
x^-5 = x to the power of negative 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Which of these is equivalent to 1 over x to the power of 5 ?
Mathematically this is expressed as
(1/x)⁵
We have a rule when it comes to expressing power
(1/a)^b = a^-b
Hence, applying this rule to our question
(1/x)⁵ = (1/x)^5
= x^-5
This is written in words as:
x to the power of negative 5
The correct answer is -163
Explanation:
First you calculate within the parentheses; (8+4)= 12: 5-7*12*2
Next you multiply and divide; 7*12 is 84*2 is 168
Then you add and subtract; 5-168 is -163
