hope that helps

Answer 2

Answer: The required simplified value is 0.04.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to simplify the following :

`E=5^(-2)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)`

We will be using the following property of exponents :

`a^(-n)=(1)/(a^n).`

The simplify of (i) is as follows :

`E\\\\=5^(-2)\\\\=(1)/(5^2)\\\\=(1)/(25)\\\\=0.04.`

Thus, the required simplified value is 0.04.
