Answer:
-1/32
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
[tex](-\frac{1}{2})^{3} )(-\frac{1}{2})^{2})[/tex]
Remember that
The exponent "product rule" tells us that, when multiplying two powers that have the same base, you can add the exponents
so
[tex](-\frac{1}{2})^{3} )(-\frac{1}{2})^{2})=(-\frac{1}{2})^{3+2})=(-\frac{1}{2})^{5})=-\frac{1}{32}[/tex]
