Since the power 6 is an even number, (-1)6 = 1.
(-2)6 = [(-1) × 2]6 = (-1)6 × 26 = 1 × 64 = 64
Since the power 6 is an even number, (-1)6 = 1.
(-3)6 = [(-1) × 3]6 = (-1)6 × 36 = 1 × 729 = 729

(-5)2 = [(-1) × 5]2 = (-1)2 × 52 = 1 × 52 = 52
Now, using product law am × an = am+n
54 × 52 = 54+2 = 56
(-15)25 = [(-1) × 15]25 = (-1)25 × 1525 = -1 × 1525 = -(15)25
Now, 151 × [-(15)25] = -(151+25) = -(15)26
(-12)3 = [(-1) × 12]3 = (-1)3 × 123 = -1 × 123 = -(12)3
Now, using quotient law
125 ÷ [-(12)3] = -(125-3) = -(12)2
Using quotient law am ÷ an = am-n
(-p)14 ÷ (-p)7 = (-p)14-7 = (-p)7 = -(p)7

LHS (Left Hand Side):** (-2)4 × (-2)2 = (-2)4+2 = (-2)6 = 64
- RHS (Right Hand Side): (-2)8 ÷ (-2)2 = (-2)8-2 = (-2)6 = 64
Since LHS = RHS = 64, the statement is verified.
- LHS: (-3)2 × (-3)-6 = (-3)2 + (-6) = (-3)-4 = (1)/((-3)4) = 1/81
- RHS: (1)/([(-3)2]2) = (1)/((-3)2 × 2) = (1)/((-3)4) = 1/81
Since LHS = RHS = 1/81, the statement is verified.
- LHS: (-7)32 ÷ (-7)32 = (-7)32-32 = (-7)0 = 1
- RHS: 1
Since LHS = RHS = 1, the statement is verified.
Using the negative exponent rule (a/b)-m = (b/a)m:
- (5/7)-7 = (7/5)7
- (9/5)-5 = (5/9)5
- (4/14)-13 = (14/4)13 = (7/2)13
- (11/15)-6 = (15/11)6
- (53/113)-7 = (113/53)7

Using product rule (a/b)m × (a/b)n = (a/b)m+n
(1/7)2+1 = (1/7)3 = 1/343
Convert base 5/4 to 4/5 using negative exponent rule (a/b)m = (b/a)-m
(5/4)2 = (4/5)-2
Now, (4/5)4 × (4/5)-2 = (4/5)4-2 = (4/5)2 = 16/25
Using quotient law am ÷ an = am-n
(-5)3 – (-2) = (-5)3 + 2 = (-5)5 = -3125
Using product rule
(3/4)3 + (-5) = (3/4)-2 = (4/3)2 = 16/9
Express in the form of exponents a 2549
Express in the form of exponents a 2549
-25/49 = -52/72 = -(5/7)2
(b) 27/125
27/125 = 33/53 = (3/5)3
(c) 64/729
64/729 = 26/36 = (2/3)6

LHS:**
First term: (5/7 × 7/5)7 = 17 = 1
Second term: (19/3 × 3/19)2 = 12 = 1
LHS = 1 – 1 = 0
- RHS: 0
Since LHS = RHS = 0, Hence Proved.
- LHS:
(p/q)m × (p/q)m × (p/q)-m = (p/q)m + m – m = (p/q)m
Using reciprocal exponent rule (p/q)m = (q/p)-m
LHS = (q/p)-m
- RHS: (q/p)-m
Since LHS = RHS, Hence Proved.
- LHS:
Using negative exponent rule (a/b)-m = (b/a)m
(25/16)-4 = (16/25)4
- RHS: (16/25)4
Since LHS = RHS, Hence Proved.
