Question

Is (-5)(-5)(-5)(-5) equivalent to (-5)^4

Answer 1

we have given that

we need to check for equality .

we know that (-5)*(-5)*(-5)*(-5)=(5)^4 as we know that bases are same power are added up.

if we have (-5)^4 we even power here so if we multiplied we wont negative in our answer .

is equivalent.

both will have same value.
