finally o.o
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
hint:
we rewrite your equation as follows:
\[\Large {m^{ - 5}} = \frac{1}{{{m^5}}} = {\left( {\frac{1}{m}} \right)^5} = \frac{1}{{32}}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so the answer is 32 XD
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
are you sure?

umm no D:
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
hint:
\[\Large \frac{1}{{32}} = \frac{1}{{{2^5}}} = {\left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right)^5}\]
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
so your equation, becomes:
\[\Large {\left( {\frac{1}{m}} \right)^5} = {\left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right)^5}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ohhhh okay.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Seems legit.

but what else after that
OpenStudy (anonymous):
bc u cant simplify 1/2
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
two powers with the same base, are equal each other when the bases are equal each other
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
so we can write:
\[\Large \frac{1}{m} = \frac{1}{2}\]
what is m?
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
oops...
two powers with the same exponent, are equal each other when the bases are equal each other
