Question

Match the expression to the simplified form

Answer 1

Answer: The answers are in the steps.

Explanation:

`2^(5)` = 2*2* 2 *2 *2 = 32

`5^(-2)` =
`(1)/(5*5)`=
`(1)/(25)`

`5^(3)` = 5 * 5 *5 = 125

`2^(-4)` =
`(1)/(2*2*2*2) = (1)/(16)`

2^5 → 32

5^-2 → 1/25

5^3 → 125

2^-4 → 1/16

Answer 2

`2^(5)`= 32

`5^(-2)`= 1/25

`5^(3)`=125

`2^(-4)`=1/16

i hope this helps, the reason there are fraction is because of the negative exponent. To solve those you need to find the normal answer(with no negative exponent) and put it over 1. Doing that switches it to a positive response(needed).
