Question

Simplify 5^12/ 5^2 x 5give your answer in power of 5

Answer 1

Answer:

$5^{11}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rules of exponents

• $a^{m}$ × $a^{n}$ = $a^{(m+n)}$

• $\frac{a^{m} }{a^{n} }$ = $a^{(m-n)}$

Given

$\frac{5^{12} }{5^{2} }$ × $5^{1}$, then

= $5^{(12-2)}$ × $5^{1}$

= $5^{10}$ × $5^{1}$

= $5^{(10+1)}$

= $5^{11}$
