Which of the following is developed to be equivalent to 1 over 8^5

Question

Responses:

8^−5

8^5

5^−8

8 and 1 over 5

Answer 1

To find an expression equivalent to \( \frac{1}{8^5} \), we can use the property of exponents that states:

\[ \frac{1}{a^n} = a^{-n} \]

Applying this property to \( \frac{1}{8^5} \), we get:

\[ \frac{1}{8^5} = 8^{-5} \]

Thus, the correct response from the options provided is:

8^−5
