Answer 1

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.
