((1/2)^-5)^2
I need to solve it
What do you need to do with it? Simplify it? solve it?
Or simplify down to the very end
okay:
1/2^-5= -1/2x-1/2x-1/2x-1/2x-1/2= -4.5
-4.5^2= -4.5x-4.5= 20.25, or 20 1/4
I don't know if you need the answer in decimal or fraction form, but fraction= 20 1/4 and decimal= 20.25
if its decimal and you need it rounded, its 20.3
Thank you so much
wait.... it can also be 1024... @Mrs. Sue? Which is it?
To simplify the expression ((1/2)^-5)^2, we can break it down into smaller steps.
Step 1: Simplify the inner exponent ((1/2)^-5)
To do this, we need to understand the property of negative exponents. A negative exponent indicates that the base should be inverted or flipped.
So, ((1/2)^-5) can be rewritten as (2/1)^5 or (2^5/1^5) which is equal to (32/1) or simply 32.
Step 2: Apply the outer exponent
Now that we have simplified the inner exponent, we can apply the outer exponent of 2 to get the final answer. We'll simply raise 32 to the power of 2.
32^2 = 32 * 32 = 1024
Therefore, ((1/2)^-5)^2 simplifies to 1024.
