Solve (1^5/5--1^5/5)

$$( \frac{ { 1 }^{ 5 } }{ 5 } - \frac{ { -1 }^{ 5 } }{ 5 } )$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{2}{5}=0.4$$

Solution Steps

Calculate 1 to the power of 5 and get 1.

$$\frac{1}{5}-\frac{\left(-1\right)^{5}}{5}$$

Calculate -1 to the power of 5 and get -1.

$$\frac{1}{5}-\frac{-1}{5}$$

Fraction \frac{-1}{5} can be rewritten as -\frac{1}{5} by extracting the negative sign.

$$\frac{1}{5}-\left(-\frac{1}{5}\right)$$

The opposite of -\frac{1}{5} is \frac{1}{5}.

$$\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{5}$$

Since \frac{1}{5} and \frac{1}{5} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{1+1}{5}$$

Add 1 and 1 to get 2.

$$\frac{2}{5}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2}{5} = 0.4$$
