Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
We can rewrite (−2)−5 ( - 2 ) ^ { - 5 } (−2)−5 as 1(−2)5 \frac{1}{( - 2 ) ^ { 5 }} (−2)51 . Since (−2)5=−32 ( - 2 ) ^ { 5 } = -32 (−2)5=−32 , we get 1(−2)5=1−32=−132 \frac{1}{( - 2 ) ^ { 5 }} = \frac{1}{-32} = - \frac { 1 } {32} (−2)51=−321=−321 . Thus, the answer is (E).
