Question

Which of the following expressions is equal to 5^6/5^2? A) 5 • 5 • 5 • 5 B) 5 • 5 • 5 C) 1/5•5•5•5 D) 3

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation: To simplify, we will apply the Quotient Rule.

The 5's in this problem are bases so as you apply the quotient rule,

subtract the exponents but leave the base alone to get 5⁴.

We can also write 5⁴ as 5 · 5 · 5 · 5.
