Question

Help plz I've been stuck

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is D. $(\frac{1}{5} )^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$5^{4} *(5^{-3} )^{2}$

simplify the expression by multiplying

$5^{4} *5^{-6}$

calculate the product

$5^{-2}$

express with a positive exponent using $a^{-n} =\frac{1}{a^{n} }$

$\frac{1}{5^{2} }$

Answer 2

${5}^4 * {(5^{-3} )}^2$

$5^{4} * 5^{-6} = 5^{-2}$

$5^{-2} = \frac{1}{5^{2} } = {(\frac{1}{5})}^2$

Alternative D)

See exponent/power properties for help.
