Algebra.Com's Answer #163074 by checkley77(12844)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! First we handle the range of exponents thus: \n" ); document.write( "5^3=5*5*5=125 \n" ); document.write( "5^2=5*5=25 \n" ); document.write( "5^1=5 \n" ); document.write( "5^0=1 *by definition) \n" ); document.write( "5^(-1)=1/5 \n" ); document.write( "5^(-2)=1/5*5=1/25 \n" ); document.write( "5^(-3)=1/5*5*5=1/125 \n" ); document.write( "Also: \n" ); document.write( "1/5^(-2)=1/(1/25)=1*25/1=25 or 5^2 \n" ); document.write( "5^5/5^(-2)=5^5*5^2=5^7 \n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps. \n" ); document.write( " |
