To express \(-125\) in exponent form, we can first rewrite \(-125\) as a product of its prime factors.
The number \(125\) can be factored as:
\[ 125 = 5^3 \]
Therefore, we can write:
\[ -125 = -1 \times 125 = -1 \times 5^3 \]
Thus, in exponent form, \(-125\) can be represented as:
\[ -125 = -1 \times 5^3 \]
Alternatively, you may also consider writing it using a base of \(-5\):
\[ -125 = (-5)^3 \]
So, \(-125\) can be expressed in exponent form as either:
\[ -1 \times 5^3 \quad \text{or} \quad (-5)^3 \]
