Question 476324
i believe you are looking for the 5th root of (-1/32)
that would be written as:
root(5,(-1/32)) in algebra.com language.
put 3 { brackets in front of it and 3 } brackets behind it and you get:
{{{ROOT(5,(-1/32))}}}
since 32 is equal to 2^5, this would be written as:
{{{root(5,(-1/2^5))}}}
since the root of (a/b) is equal to (the root of a) / (the root of b), then this expression can be re-written as:
{{{root(5,(-1))/root(5,(2^5))}}}
since the fifth root of (-1) is equal to -1 because (-1)^5 = -1, and:
since the fifth root of 32 is equal to 2 because (2)^5 = 32, then:
your expression is equivalent to:
(-1/2).
you may confirm this is true by using your calculator to find the fifth root of (-1/32).
the calculator should tell you that it's equal to -.5.
