Question

Write the following expression using a single exponent.

(5^5)2 ×5^6
5^13
5^16
5^4
5^42

Answer 1

I think you need to rewrite your problem as
\[5^{5} \times 25^{6}\] is not equivalent to any of your answers.

Answer 2

ahhh ok so your problem is \[(5^{5})^{2} \times 5^{6}\] is that right?

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

ok so to figure out how to simplify the (5^5)^2 you need to know this rule:
\[(a^{x})^{y} = a^{x\times y}\] so how would you apply this to your problem?
