Solution steps

(\frac{- 1}{2})^{5}

Apply exponent rule:

(\frac{a}{b})^{c} = \frac{a ^{c}}{b ^{c}}

= \frac{( - 1 ) ^{5}}{2 ^{5}}

(- 1)^{5} = - 1

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

2^{5} = 32

= \frac{- 1}{32}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= - \frac{1}{32}

\frac{4 x ^{2} - 16}{4 x - 2}

(y - 3) (y + 3)

7 \div \frac{1}{6}

\frac{2 m ^{7}}{5 m ^{5}}
