Full solution

Q. Simplify. Express your answer using a single exponent.\newline(s5)2(s^{-5})^{-2}
  1. Identify Operation: Identify the operation needed for the exponents.\newlineWhen raising a power to a power, we multiply the exponents.
  2. Apply Exponent Rule: Apply the exponent rule (s5)2(s^{-5})^{-2}. We multiply the exponents 5-5 and 2-2. (s5)2=s(5×2)(s^{-5})^{-2} = s^{(-5 \times -2)}
  3. Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication of the exponents.\newline5×2=10-5 \times -2 = 10\newlineSo, (s5)2=s10(s^{-5})^{-2} = s^{10}
  4. Check Errors: Check for any mathematical errors.\newlineThere are no mathematical errors in the previous steps.
