Answer:
5^8
Step-by-step explanation:
Diego added the exponents. This was an error. If he was simplifying
5^2 × 5^4, then he could add the exponents and get a correct answer. But his problem had a power raised to a power. In this case, you multiply the exponents to simplify.
(5^2)^4 means
5^2×5^2×5^2×5^2
which is
5×5×5×5×5×5×5×5
which is 5^8.
Answer:
1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of the areas is the square of the ratio of the lengths of sides.

Let S be the sum,
S = 2 + 4 + 6 + ... + 2 (n - 2) + 2 (n - 1) + 2n
Reverse the order of terms:
S = 2n + 2 (n - 1) + 2 (n - 2) + ... + 6 + 4 + 2
Add up terms in the same positions, so that twice the sum is
2S = (2n + 2) + (2n + 2) + (2n + 2) + ... + (2n + 2)
or
2S = n (2n + 2)
Divide both sides by 2 to solve for S :
S = n (n + 1)
There are 4 terms in the expression
