Answer 2

Answer:

$5^{-3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the indicial expression

$(5^{-2})(5^{-1})$

First let us convert them to fraction;

5^-2 = 1/5^2

5^-2 = 1/25

Also;

5^-1 = 1/5^1

5^-2 = 1/5

Multiplying both fractions;

$(5^{-2})(5^{-1})$ = 1/25 * 1/5

$(5^{-2})(5^{-1})$ = 1/125

$(5^{-2})(5^{-1})$ = 1/5^3

1/5^3 = $5^{-3}$

Hence the required answer is $5^{-3}$
