Chapter 4.2, Problem 25IP

To determine

To write : the expression using a negative exponent other than $-1$ .

Answer to Problem 25IP

The expression using a negative exponent is $6^{-5}$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information :

Consider, the expression is,

  $\frac{1}{6^5}$

The value of expression is:

  $\begin{array}{l}\frac{1}{6^5}\\ 6^{-5}\left[\text{definition of negative exponent}\right]\end{array}$

Hence, the expression using a negative exponent is $6^{-5}$ .
