Answer:

(x⁻¹)(x⁻⁵) = x⁻⁶

Step-by-step explanation:

When multiplying number with the same base, you add up their exponent.

(x⁻¹)(x⁻⁵) =

= x⁽⁻¹⁾ ⁺ ⁽⁻⁵⁾

= x⁻⁶

you can also write x⁻⁶ as 1/x⁶. The negative sign in the exponent just flip the numerator and denominator with each others.

Answer:

The answer to your question is   x⁻⁶ or 1/x⁶

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying exponents

-To multiply exponents they must have the same base and the result will be the base and the exponents will add.

Ex

              (a³)(a²)

base = a

exponents = 3 and 2

result     a³ ⁺ ²  = a⁵

In your question

             (x⁻¹)(x⁻⁵) = x⁻¹⁻⁵ = x⁻⁶ = 1/x⁻⁶
