5^3*5=

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[5^4=5*5*5*5=\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think the answer is 5^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No. With exponents, the rule is basically: \[x^a * x^b = x^{a+b}\] So here we have: \[5^3 * 5 = 5^3 * 5^1 = 5^4 = 25^2 = 625\]

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

is the question \[5^3 \times 5 ... or ... 5^{3\times 5}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh sori hav 2 simplify the followin 5 to da power of 3 divide by 5 think da answer is 5 to da power of 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(Divide\) by? Try using the equation editor or drawing your equation to express it exactly as written.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ x^a }{ x^b } = x^{a-b}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

write as single indices?? \[5^{3}\div5\]

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

so you need to simplify this \[\frac{5^3}{5}\] so it can be written as \[\frac{5^3}{5^1}\] the index rule for division is subtract the powers.. \[\frac{x^a}{x^b} = x^{a - b}\] or in expanded form you have \[\frac{5 \times 5\times 5}{5} \] remove a common factor for the solution or use the index law

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is \[5^{3}\]

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

nope... sorry... read the posts... subtract the powers...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

see wen we r tld 2 write as single indices if theres only 1 power dan we cnt subtract the power wil b as it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[5 = 5^1 \therefore \frac {5^3} {5^1}=5^{3-1}=5^2\] Ease up guys, you weren't born knowing this either.
