Question

Answer 1

Explain how the Quotient of Powers was used to simplify this expression.

\[\frac{ 5^4 }{ 25 } = 5^2\]
By simplifying 25 to 52 to make both powers base five, and subtracting the exponents

By simplifying 25 to 52 to make both powers base five, and adding the exponents

By finding the quotient of the bases to be one fifth, and cancelling common factors

By finding the quotient of the bases to be one fifth, and simplifying the expression

Answer 2

you should use ^ to write 5^2 because 52 is completely confusing
(25 is not fifty-two, but 25 is 5^2 )

Answer 3

?? That is what it looks like in the test>?

Answer 4

How would I write it?

Answer 5

it probably looks like \(5^2\) which is different form 52
if we type it without the equation editor we would write 5^2 (so we know what you mean)

but anyway, you should be able to answer this one.
do you agree 5*5 is 25 ?
and do you know another way to write 5*5 is 5^2 (or \(5^2\)) ?

Answer 6

I'm confused :/

Answer 8

Please help me?

Answer 9

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

Answer 10

\[\frac{ a^4 }{ a^2 } = a^{4-2}\]
