Answer:

0.0003

Explanation:

Because the exponent is a negative, you are going move the three to the right. Because it is to the power of 5 you are going to move the three over 5 times. Because you are moving the three to the right, that makes it a decimal, Therefore the answer is 0.0003

Hope this helped :)

I'm going to assume you mean 3 to the power negative 5.

3^-5

Use rule [ x^-y = 1/x^y ]

3^-5 = 1/3^5 = 1/243

Best of Luck!
