Now, If the exponent was negative like you asked....
(-1) to the power of an even number is +1.
(-1) to the power of an odd number is -1.
Since 50 is an even number, (-1)⁵⁰ = 1.
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is C
We can easily eliminate B and D since Ms. Macdonald isn't starting with 3 rabbits.
We can also eliminate choice A, because 5 to the 3rd power isn't 15.
5 to the 3rd power is 125, therefore the choice is C
The answer is ....1.237149 x 10^18
