Please someone check this for me: Simplify. -(10)^-1 = -10 (-2)^-5 = 1/32 4^8 x 4^3 = 4^11 (-4)^-6 x (-4)^7 = -4 or 1/4 (3^7)^2 = 3^14 4c^-1 x 3c^10 = 12c^9 (-h^4)^5 = -h^20

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

-(10)^-1 = -10 is not true

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just that one?

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

(-2)^-5 = 1/32 is not true either

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and would it be positive 10?

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

no it would be -1/10

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

(-2)^-5=-1/32

OpenStudy (anonymous):
