Question

Prove the divisibility:45^45·15^15 by 75^30

Answer 1

Answer:

$3^{75}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been an division problem: $\frac{45^{45}*15^{15}}{75^{30}}$.

We will simplify our division problem using rules of exponents.

Using product rule of exponents $(a*b)^n=a^n*b^n$ we can write:

$45^{45}=(9*5)^{45}=9^{45}*5^{45}$

$15^{15}=(3*5)^{15}=3^{15}*5^{15}$

$75^{30}=(15*5)^{30}=15^{30}*5^{30}$

Substituting these values in our division problem we will get,

$\frac{9^{45}*5^{45}*3^{15}*5^{15}}{15^{30}*5^{30}}$

Using power rule of exponents $a^n*a^m=a^{n+m}$ we will get,

$\frac{9^{45}*5^{(45+15)}*3^{15}}{15^{30}*5^{30}}$

$\frac{9^{45}*5^{60}*3^{15}}{15^{30}*5^{30}}$

Using product rule of exponents $(a*b)^n=a^n*b^n$ we will get,

$\frac{(3*3)^{45}*5^{60}*3^{15}}{(3*5)^{30}*5^{30}}$

$\frac{3^{45}*3^{45}*5^{60}*3^{15}}{3^{30}*5^{30}*5^{30}}$

Using power rule of exponents $a^n*a^m=a^{n+m}$ we will get,

$\frac{3^{(45+45+15)}*5^{60}}{3^{30}*5^{(30+30)}}$

$\frac{3^{105}*5^{60}}{3^{30}*5^{60}}$

$\frac{3^{105}}{3^{30}}$

Using quotient rule of exponent $\frac{a^m}{a^n}=a^{m-n}$ we will get,

$\frac{3^{105}}{3^{30}}=3^{105-30}$

$3^{105-30}=3^{75}$

Therefore, our resulting quotient will be $3^{75}$.
