alexandervonhumboldt2 · Answer

remmember: (a^b)^c=a^(bc)

anonymous · Answer

2*25^x =/= 50^x

celinegirl · Answer

thank you @AlexandervonHumboldt2 @alexsmith4589 so that would make it A?

alexandervonhumboldt2 · Answer

yeah

anonymous · Answer

that's why C and A are listed, only ONE is correct. Its C!

anonymous · Answer

because based on your math, both C and A is correct, and that's not the case

celinegirl · Answer

hm idk @alexsmith4589 A seems correct

anonymous · Answer

even if it does, in the math "2*25^x=50^x" was listed. The problem asks for an equivalent function, *not* a simplified function.

But, both 2*25^x and 50^x are listed as answers, so by that logic, both answers are correct.

Although, I disagree, and say it stops at 2*25^x. Just let us know what the correct answer is so other people who look it up can makw sure

Your exam grader will not be impressed by "seems correct".

Use this rule of exponents: $5^{2x} = \left(5^2\right)^{x}$

like @alexsmith4589 said, $\LARGE 2*25^x \neq 50^x$

celinegirl · Answer
