(-p+q)^5

my answer was -p^5 + 5p^4q - 10p^3q^2 + 10p^2q^3 - 5pq^4 -q^5

but the answer for the question was listed with the last term +q^5

My question is why isn't it -q^5 for the last term? Isn't it really -p^0(q^5)?

Isn't -p^0 = -1?

When you evaluate the binomial using Pascal's triangle, you have to remember to substitute the terms and their signs within parentheses.

So, while the statement -p^0 = -1 is true, it is used incorrectly here. You have to include the "-" sign when raising p to the 0 power, (-p)^0 = 1.
