Question

Write 1/125 as an expression using a negative exponent other than -1 and please explain how

Answer 1

5^-3

Explanation:

Answer 2

`{5}^( - 3)`

Explanation:

`(1)/(125) \: can \: also \: be \: written \: as \: \frac{ {1}^(3) }{ {5}^(3) }`

Here 1^3 will be 1 & 5^3 will be 125.

So ,

`\frac{ {1}^(3) }{ {5}^(3) } = { ((1)/(5) })^(3) = {5}^( - 3)`
