can someone help me simplify this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (bibby):

\(a^M*a^N=a^{(M+N)}\\ (\dfrac{a}{b})^M=\dfrac{a^M}{b^M}\)

OpenStudy (bibby):

whoops, the second thing shouldn't be there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont understand what that means

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First I would just multiply 5^-3 with 5^6 which gives 5^3, then divide 5^3 by 5^2 which is 5 and 2^2 by 2^3 which is 2^-1 The final answer is 5 * 2^-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

these are the choices..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol ignore that.. posted the wrong file

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it has to be in fraction form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol flvs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, do u go there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Btw in fraction form it would be 5 over 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I take flvs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{2^2 5^6}{5^3 2^3 5^2}=\frac{5^6 2^2}{5^5 2^3}=\frac{5}{2} \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks @robtobey
