Question

(r/v)-5 Express using positive exponents. Then, if possible, simplify.

Answer 1

\[\left(\begin{matrix}r \\ v\end{matrix}\right)-5\]

Answer 2

Did you mean\[(\frac rv) ^{-5}\]

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

\[(\frac{v}{r})^5\]

Answer 5

\[\Large \left(\frac{r}{v}\right)^{-5}\]


\[\Large \left(\frac{v}{r}\right)^{5}\]


\[\Large \frac{v^5}{r^5}\]



So \[\Large \left(\frac{r}{v}\right)^{-5}=\frac{v^5}{r^5}\]
