How do you write (1/2) to the 5th power? (Not answered)

(1/2)^5

2.5 To write (1/2) to the 5th power, you need to calculate the result of raising 1/2 to the exponent of 5. The exponent of 5 means you will multiply (1/2) by itself five times.

To do this calculation, you can use the formula for exponentiation:

(a/b)^n = (a^n)/(b^n)

In this case, a = 1, b = 2, and n = 5. So, you can substitute these values into the formula:

(1/2)^5 = (1^5)/(2^5)

1^5 equals 1, and 2^5 equals 32. So, the calculation simplifies to:

(1/2)^5 = 1/32

Therefore, (1/2) to the 5th power is equal to 1/32.
