Answer 5

@chosenmatt

Answer 6

32?

Answer 7

Oh yeah.. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Answer 8

No, first. Is it \((-2)^5\) or is it \(-2(5)\)?

Answer 9

(-2)5

Answer 10

Okay, are you sure the 5 isn't small and at the top?

Answer 11

If it isn't, then you just multiply:

\(-2 \times 5\)

Answer 12

Ah, okay, (-2)5 is the same as -2 x 5

When multiplying a negative with a positive, the answer is always negative.

Answer 13

5 is at the top like 2 and an high 5 lol

Answer 14

Remember:

\(Negative \times Positive = Negative\)
\(Positive \times Negative = Negative\)

\(Positive \times Positive = Positive\)
\(Negative \times Negative = Negative\)

Answer 15

So -2 and 5 is the same size?? o_o

Answer 16

Right, so it's:

\(-2 \times -2 \times -2 \times -2 \times -2\)

Answer 17

no 5 is on top of 2 lol

Answer 18

You mean -2, right?

Answer 19

Okay, if 5 is on the top of -2, like this:

\((-2)^5\)

Then you multiply -2 by itself, 5 times, giving you:

\(-2 \times -2 \times -2 \times -2 \times -2\)

Answer 20

yeah lol \[-2 ^{5}\]

Answer 21

parentheses is around -2 tho

Answer 22

@sleepyjess
