Question

1. write (-3)^5 in standard form.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall exponent definition

An exponent \(a^n\) means multiplying \(a\) by itself \(n\) times. So \((-3)^5 = (-3)\times(-3)\times(-3)\times(-3)\times(-3)\).

Step2: Multiply step - by - step

First, \((-3)\times(-3)=9\). Then, \(9\times(-3)= - 27\). Next, \(-27\times(-3)=81\). Finally, \(81\times(-3)=-243\).

Answer:

\(-243\)
