Question

what is the prime factorization of 55^5 x 65 x 9^15 and why? A. 3^15 * 5^6 *11^5*13 B. 3^30 *5^6 *11^5 *13 C.3^30 * 5^6 *11 * 13 D. 3^30 *5^5*11^5*13

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Lets focus on 55^5

55^5 = 11^5 * 5^5

2. now on 65

65 = 5 * 13

3. now on 9^15

9^15=(3^2)^15 = 3^30

4. combine all three parts

11^5 * 5^5 * 5 * 13 * 3^30 = 11^5*5^6*13*3^30

so our answer is B
