OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which of the following is an equivalent representation of 5-3 ? a. 1 over 625 b. 1 over 15 c. 1 over 8 d. 1 over 125

OpenStudy (jonnyvonny):

5^-3?

OpenStudy (jonnyvonny):

If so, just do it like this: 5^3=5*5*5=125 Now put the negative on: 125^-1=1/125

OpenStudy (jonnyvonny):

The negative just means put whatever is being powered, at the end of it, put it in the denominator, want more explanation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, I would love more explanation!

OpenStudy (jonnyvonny):

Mmk, so, because it has a negative power, that means if its at the numerator, put it in the denominator, and if its in the denominator, put it in the numerator: |dw:1412710203996:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):
