I need help on solving this problem -(25^1/2)=

To solve this problem, we need to simplify the expression -(25^1/2).

Let's break it down step by step:

Step 1: Find the square root of 25.
The square root of 25 is 5 because 5 * 5 = 25.

Step 2: Substitute the square root value into the expression.
Now, we replace 25 with its square root (5) in the expression:
-(5^1/2)

Step 3: Evaluate the exponent.
The exponent 1/2 represents the square root operation. So, taking the square root of 5, we get:
-(√5)

Step 4: Apply the negative sign.
Finally, we account for the negative sign in front of the expression:
-(√5)

Therefore, the simplified expression -(25^1/2) is equal to -√5.
