$59.537$ $59.537$

Whenever you have two things multiplied and you have an exponent remember the product rule :

$x^{a} \cdot x^{b} = x^{a + b}$ $x^a * x^b= x^(a+b)$

So here that would give:

${(- \frac{5}{3})}^{5 + 3} = 59.537$ $(-5/3)^(5+3)= 59.537$

How do you evaluate (−53)5×(−53)3(- \frac { 5} { 3} ) ^ { 5} \times ( - \frac { 5} { 3} ) ^ { 3}?
