Question 71

In the following question, state whether the given statements are true (T) or false (F).

$(- 5)^{- 2} \times (- 5)^{- 3} = (- 5)^{- 6}$

Open in App

Solution

False:

$L H S = (- 5)^{- 2} \times (- 5)^{- 3}$

Using law of exponents ,
$a^{m} \times a^{n} = (a)^{m + n}$

$∴ (- 5)^{- 2} \times (- 5)^{- 3} = (- 5)^{- 2 - 3} = (- 5)^{- 5}$

Since, LHS is not equal to RHS, the given statement is false.
