simplify (-x^2)^5

Solution

simplify

(- x^{2})^{5}

Solution

- x^{10}

Solution steps

(- x^{2})^{5}

Apply exponent rule:

(- a)^{n} = - a^{n},

if

n

is odd

(- x^{2})^{5} = - (x^{2})^{5}

= - (x^{2})^{5}

Apply exponent rule:

(a^{b})^{c} = a^{b c},

assuming

a \geq 0

(x^{2})^{5} = x^{2 \cdot 5}

= - x^{2 \cdot 5}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 5 = 10

= - x^{10}
