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.
