Answer 1

Solving $5^5.5^{-12}$ we get $\frac{1}{78125}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve: $5^5.5^{-12}$

It can be solved using the exponent rule. If bases are same, then the exponents are added. i.e $a^m.a^n=a^{m+n}$

Applying exponent rule:

$5^5.5^{-12}\\=5^{5-12}\\=5^{-7}$

Another exponent rule says: $a^{-1} =\frac{1}{a}$

So,

$5^{-7}\\=\frac{1}{5^7}\\=\frac{1}{78125}$

So, solving $5^5.5^{-12}$ we get $\frac{1}{78125}$
