Question

How do you solve the value of m in

m^-5 = 1/32

Answer 1

\[m ^{-5}=\frac{ 1 }{ 32}\]

Answer 2

Couple things to remember here
\[m^{-5}=\frac{ 1 }{ m^5 }\]
\[\frac{ 1 }{ m^5 }=\frac{ 1 }{ 32 }=m^5=32\]
\[m=\sqrt[5]{32}\]

Answer 3

Now just find the 5th root of 32

Answer 4

Is 6.4 the right answer?

Answer 5

Hmm

(6.4)^5=32?

I don't think so

Answer 6

Im not getting it XD is there an other way to explain it??

Answer 7

got calculator? to get the 5th root, no?

Answer 8

Think about it

the fifth root of 32 implies

(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)

one number multiplied by itself 5 times will be 32

Answer 9

the number in this case is rather small...try 1,2,3..

Answer 10

wouldnt that be 6.4?? 6.4 times 5 is 32

Answer 11

(6.4)x(6.4)x(6.4)x(6.4)x(6.4)

does it really?

Answer 12

OOOOOOH

Answer 13

I forgot how to get the answer XD How get the root again?? Im sorry

Answer 14

What's \[\sqrt{9}\]

Answer 15

3?

Answer 16

But why?

Square root of 9 implies

What multiplies itself twice is 9, which is three.

Answer 17

\[\sqrt[5]{32}\]
Similar concept here....what multiplied by itself 5 times equals 32?

Answer 18

5.656 and so on..?

Answer 19

Oh
wait nevermind

Answer 20

You got..?

Answer 21

Ok i think the problem is that i completely forgot how to get the root. I think thats an issue

Answer 22

Calculator..guess and check..

Answer 23

ok this might take a second XD thank you for trying to help though XD

Answer 24

OH ITS 2

Answer 25
