Question

Help!! Lots of points

Answer 1

The third option ||| Evaluate 5^2 and 2^2 ||| and the last option ||| Rewrite the expression as (5/2)^2 ||| are the correct choices.

So, C and E

Answer 2

`\frac{ {5}^(2) }{ {2}^(2) } = {( (5)/(2)) }^(2)`
Since they are both squared.

Evaluating 5^2 and 2^2 and finding the quotient also works.


`\frac{ {5}^(2) }{ {2}^(2) } = (5 * 5)/(2 * 2) = (25)/(4) = 6.25\\ \frac{ {5}^(2) }{ {2}^(2) } = {( (5)/(2) )}^(2) = 2.5 * 2.5 = 6.25`
The third option, "Evaluate 5^2 and 2^2 ...," and the last option, "Rewrite the expression as (5/2)^2 ...," are the correct choices.
