Question

Rewrite using a single positive exponent. (5-3)*

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Are you sure that's the complete question? If yes, there's no valid answer to this question as it's not complete. (Please do comment the full question below  if you have it)

But assuming it's 5^-3 , we can apply the reciprocal law of indices which becomes:

$\frac{1}{5^3}$

This is our final answer.

The reciprocal indices law states that:

$x^{-n} = \frac{1}{x^n}$

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

To write this expression as a positive exponent we use this rule of exponents: xa=1x−a. 5−3=15−−3=153. Use this rule for exponents: xa=1x−a. 5−3=15−−3=153=1125.
