Question

What’s the answer????

Answer 1

`(1)/(25)`

Explanation:

Using the rule of exponents

`a^(-m)` =
`(1)/(a^(m) )` , then

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

Answer 2

hey <3

negative exponentials can be written as a power of a fraction

for example, 4^-2 can be written as 1/(4^2)

thus, your answer would be 1/(5^2)

hope this helps :)
