Final answer:

To prove the divisibility of 45^45 * 15^15 by 75^30, we rewrite the expression and show that it is divisible.

Step-by-step explanation:

To prove the divisibility of 45^45 * 15^15 by 75^30, we need to show that 75^30 is a factor of 45^45 * 15^15.

We can rewrite 45 as 5 * 9 and 15 as 3 * 5. Thus, 45^45 * 15^15 can be expressed as (5 * 9)^45 * (3 * 5)^15.

Now, we can simplify the expression as (5^45 * 9^45) * (3^15 * 5^15).

Since 75 = 5^2 * 3, we can rewrite 75^30 as (5^2 * 3)^30 = (5^60 * 3^30).

It can be observed that (5^45 * 9^45) * (3^15 * 5^15) is divisible evenly by (5^60 * 3^30), which means 75^30 is a factor of 45^45 * 15^15.

Answer:


3^(75)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to divide our given fraction:
(45^(45)*15^(15))/(75^(30)).

We will simplify our division problem using rules of exponents.

Using product rule of exponents
(a*b)^n=a^n*b^n we can write:


45^(45)=(3*15)^(45)=3^(45)*15^(45)


75^(30)=(5*15)^(30)=5^(30)*15^(30)

Substituting these values in our division problem we will get,


(3^(45)*15^(45)*15^(15))/(5^(30)*15^(30))

Using power rule of exponents
a^m*a^n=a^(m+n) we will get,


(3^(45)*15^(45+15))/(5^(30)*15^(30))


(3^(45)*15^(60))/(5^(30)*15^(30))

Using quotient rule of exponent
(a^m)/(a^n)=a^(m-n) we will get,


(3^(45)*15^(60-30))/(5^(30))


(3^(45)*15^(30))/(5^(30))

Using product rule of exponents
(a*b)^n=a^n*b^n we will get,


(3^(45)*(3*5)^(30))/(5^(30))


(3^(45)*3^(30)*5^(30))/(5^(30))

Upon canceling out
5^(30) we will get,


3^(45)*3^(30)

Using power rule of exponents
a^m*a^n=a^(m+n) we will get,


3^(45+30)


3^(75)

Therefore, our resulting quotient will be
3^(75).
