Question
Evaluate : ${\left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right)^{ - 5}}$
✓
Answer
${\left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right)^{ - 5}}$
$ = \frac{1}{{{{\left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right)}^5}}}$
$ = \frac{1}{{\frac{{{1^5}}}{{{2^5}}}}}$
$ = \frac{1}{{\left( {\frac{1}{{32}}} \right)}}$
= 32
$ = \frac{1}{{{{\left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right)}^5}}}$
$ = \frac{1}{{\frac{{{1^5}}}{{{2^5}}}}}$
$ = \frac{1}{{\left( {\frac{1}{{32}}} \right)}}$
= 32
