Question

All right attraction is an expression using a negative exponent other than negative one. The first box is for the base in the second boxes for the exponent. Leave your answers in exponential form. Remember the base is not changed on changing the sign on the exponent.

Answer 1

Given the expression:

`(1)/((-5)^7)`

Let's rewrite the expression.

To simplify the expression, let's apply the negative exponent form:

`(1)/(a^7)=a^(-7)`

Thus, we have:

`\begin{gathered} (1)/((-5)^7) \\ \\ =(-5)^(-7) \end{gathered}`

Therefore, we have:

Base = -5

Exponent = -7

ANSWER:

`(-5)^(-7)`

FIrst box = -5

Second box = -7
