Question

simplify.
$(w^{3})^{-5}$
write your answer without using negative exponents.

Explanation:

Step1: Apply power of a power rule

$(w^3)^{-5} = w^{3 \times (-5)}$

Step2: Calculate the exponent

$w^{3 \times (-5)} = w^{-15}$

Step3: Eliminate negative exponent

$w^{-15} = \frac{1}{w^{15}}$

Answer:

$\frac{1}{w^{15}}$
