What value of p solves the equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nnesha (nnesha):

exponent rule for negative exponent \[\huge\rm x^{-m}=\frac{ 1 }{ x^m }\] use that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats a little confusing

Nnesha (nnesha):

just flip the fraction to convert negative to positive exponent x^{-m} is same \[\huge\rm \frac{ x^{-m} }{ 1 } = \frac{ 1 }{ x^m }\] m is an exponent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so, what would be the answer? i need help. i've gotten the wrong ones so far..

Nnesha (nnesha):

what did you get ?

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[\huge\rm p^{-5}= ???\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i forgot, i erased it..

Nnesha (nnesha):

oky read what i said above and try to solve again.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its still confusing

Nnesha (nnesha):

just flip the fraction. that's it when you do that negative sign will turns to positive

Nnesha (nnesha):

x^{-m} is same \[\huge\rm \frac{ x^{-m} }{ 1 } = \frac{ 1 }{ x^m }\] m is an exponent i gave you 'n example.

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[\huge\rm \frac{ p^{-5} }{ 1} = ????\]
