Answer:

11^ -2 = 1 / 11^2 = 1/121

Explanation:

11^-5 ÷ 11^-3

When the bases are the same, we subtract the exponents when dividing

11 ^ ( -5 - -3)

11 ^ ( -5+3)

11 ^ -2

We know that a^ -b = 1/a^b

1/ 11^2

1/121

Answer:

Explanation:


a^(-m)=(1)/(a^(m))\\\\Therefore, (1)/(a^(-m))=a^(m)


11^(-5) ÷
11^(-3) = 11^(-5) * 11^(3)\\\\ {
a^(m)*a^(n) = a^(m+n) }


11^(-5+3) \\\\= 11^(-2)
