Simplify the expression.

Exact form :


(1)/(15625)

Decimal form :

6.4 ·
10^(-5)

Hope this helps,

Solve what is inside the parenthesis first:

5^3 = 5 x 5 x 5 = 125

Now we have this:

125^ -2

Anything to the power of a negative means you put it as one over the value (or if it is already a fraction, then you flip it)

1/125^2

125^2 = 15625

We get an answer of:

1/15625

Hope This Helps You!

Good Luck (:

Have A Great Day ^-^
