How to answer a problem that says 5 ro the 4 power over 5

Answer 1

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{negative exponents} \\\\ a^{-n} \implies \cfrac{1}{a^n} \qquad \qquad \cfrac{1}{a^n}\implies a^{-n} \qquad \qquad a^n\implies \cfrac{1}{a^{-n}} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \cfrac{5^4}{5}\implies 5^4\cdot 5^{-1}\implies 5^{4-1}\implies 5^3\implies 125$
