Answer 6

use the rule of indices

(x^a)^b = x^(ab)

Answer 7

Bascially, when you put an exponent on an exponent they multiply.

So if you have (2^2)^3, it is the same as writing 2^6.

Therefore, in this case, what times -5 would give you -15

Answer 8

in your problem the exponent multiplies the -5 to get -15

Answer 9

If we apply the rule of power of power, we can write this:
\[\Large {\left( {{2^{ - 5}}} \right)^N} = {2^{ - 5 \cdot N}} = {2^{ - 15}}\]
and then we have to solve this equation:
\[\Large - 5 \cdot N = - 15\]
please solve that equation for N

Answer 10

so...what you're saying is that 3 will be the answer? (accordinng to my work)

Answer 11

correct! it is N=3

Answer 12

Whoop! thanks
