Answer: OPTION C.

Explanation:

For this exercise it is important to remember the the following properties:

1. The Produtct of Powers Property states that:


(a^m)(a^n)=a^((m+n))

2. The Quotient of Powers Property states that:


(a^m)/(a^n)=a^((m-n))

Therefore, given the following expression:


(5^a*5^5)/(5^b)

You can simplify it by applying the properties explained before.

So, you get that following expression:


(5^a*5^5)/(5^b)=(5^((a+5)))/(5^b)=5^((a+5)-b)=5^((a+5-b))

Then, you can determine that Clifton is correct.
