Answer 1

Answer:

1. $5^2 = 25$
2. $5^{-2}$ = $\frac{1}{25}$
3. $(-5)^{2} = 25$
4. $-5^{2} =-25$

Answer 2

Solution:

We know the following rules:

• Rule: If an exponent is negative, it will be in the fraction 1/nˣ.
• Rule: If an exponent is positive, it will be in whole number form and will multiply itself m times.
• Rule: if a number's exponent is 0, then the number is 1.

Now, let's solve each problem.

• 5² = 5 x 5 = 25
• 5⁻² = 1²/5² = 1/25
• (-5)² = (-5) x (-5) = 25
• -5² = -(5²) = -(25) = -25
