simplify x^5-2x^{-2}

Solution

simplify

x^{5} - 2 x^{- 2}

Solution

x^{5} - \frac{2}{x ^{2}}

Solution steps

x^{5} - 2 x^{- 2}

Apply exponent rule:

a^{- b} = \frac{1}{a ^{b}}

x^{- 2} = \frac{1}{x ^{2}}

= x^{5} - 2 \cdot \frac{1}{x ^{2}}

Simplify

2 \cdot \frac{1}{x ^{2}} : \frac{2}{x ^{2}}

= x^{5} - \frac{2}{x ^{2}}
