OpenStudy (misty1212):

oops typo there

OpenStudy (misty1212):

\[\huge \frac{1}{p^5}=\frac{1}{243}\iff p^5=243\]

OpenStudy (dinamix):

1/3^5

OpenStudy (misty1212):

think of a number that, when raised to the power of 5, gives 243 make a guess (hint, it has to be pretty small)

OpenStudy (dinamix):

sorry about answer

OpenStudy (sissyedgar):

well, in order to be a multiple of 5 it has 2 end in 0 or 5, which it doesnt... 48.2

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Do you know the definition of a negative exponent @sissyedgar?

OpenStudy (misty1212):

no dear, not a multiple of 5, multiplying by itself five times like for example \[2^5=2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2=32\]

OpenStudy (sissyedgar):

o yah rite rite

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

$$\Huge a^{-n}=\frac{1}{a^n}$$

OpenStudy (sissyedgar):

3 times is 125...

OpenStudy (misty1212):

no that is \(5^3=125\)

OpenStudy (misty1212):

but you are close, try \(3^5\)
