Question

Rewrite the expression in the form 5^n
(5^3)^2=?

Answer 1

The answer is 5^6 because if we have an exponent to the power of exponent we have to multiply the powers..

Hope it is useful :)

Answer 2

This problem is all about bases and exponents. Because we have a quotient and the bases are both 5's, that means that we can use the rule of exponents for quotients to rewrite and simplify:

That's the simplification as long as you are "allowed" to leave the exponent as a negative number.
