Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem is all about bases and exponents. Because we have a quotient and the bases are both 5's, that means that we can use the rule of exponents for quotients to rewrite and simplify:
That's the simplification as long as you are "allowed" to leave the exponent as a negative number.
Answer:
5^-18
Step-by-step explanation:
Law of exponents bases the same add the exponents keep the base.
5^(-8+-10)=5^-18
