true or false
1 to the negative fifth power=(-1) fifth power
one to any power is 1.
so is the equation true or false
that makes no sense hey im only in the 8th grade
1 ^-5
To solve this question, we need to evaluate the values of both expressions and check if they are equal.
1 to the negative fifth power means raising 1 to the power of -5, which is equal to 1 divided by 1 raised to the power of 5.
Therefore, 1 to the negative fifth power is equal to 1/(1^5) = 1/1 = 1.
(-1) to the fifth power means raising -1 to the power of 5, which is equal to -1 multiplied by itself 5 times.
Therefore, (-1) to the fifth power is equal to (-1)^5 = -1 * -1 * -1 * -1 * -1 = -1.
Since 1 is not equal to -1, the statement "1 to the negative fifth power = (-1) to the fifth power" is FALSE.
