Care in editing math articles

Hello. In this edit you neglected the fact that the exponent had a minus sign, whereas the one in the sidebar did not. Thus

$F_{X}(x)=1-\left({\frac {x}{x_{\mathrm {m} }}}\right)^{-k}{\text{ matches }}F_{X}(x)=1-\left({\frac {x_{\mathrm {m} }}{x}}\right)^{k}$

but

$F_{X}(x)=1-\left({\frac {x_{\mathrm {m} }}{x}}\right)^{-k}{\text{ does not match }}F_{X}(x)=1-\left({\frac {x_{\mathrm {m} }}{x}}\right)^{k}.$

Thanks Michael, I meant to take that minus out as well so the notation matched. Good catch.
