= 6

Therefore , the weight of the puppy is 6 pounds .

Simplify this equation Thanks a lot!!!

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to simplify the given expression . The given expression is ,

$\rm\implies ( 2 \sqrt6 +5)^{2n-1} ( 2\sqrt6 - 5)^{2n-1}$

Here we can see that the power of the both exponent is same that is (2n+1) . Recall the property of exponents ,

$\bf\implies a^m \times b^m = (ab)^m$

Using this property , we have ,

$\rm\implies ( 2 \sqrt6 +5)^{2n-1} ( 2\sqrt6 - 5)^{2n-1}$

This can be written as ,

$\rm\implies\{( 2 \sqrt6 +5) ( 2\sqrt6 - 5)\}^{2n-1}$

Simplifying using ( a+b)(a-b) = a² - b² ,

$\rm\implies\{( 2 \sqrt6)^2 -5^2 \}^{2n-1}\\\\\rm\implies ( 24 - 25)^{2n-1}$

Subtracting the numbers inside the brackets ,

$\rm\implies (-1)^{2n - 1 }$

Now we know that every odd number is in the form of 2n -1 , where n is any integer. Therefore , the power is odd .

Since the base is (-1) , for even power it is 1 and for odd power it is -1 . Therefore the final answer is ,

$\rm\implies\boxed{\quad \red{ -1 }\quad }$

Hence the required answer is (-1) .
