lets solve this problem:(5x^2)(5x^2)^2
so first of all you would do the () first
so lets do the first one first. 5x^2 = 5*5 wich would equal 25
so the () by each other means multiply
so now its: 25*(5x^2)^2
5x^2= 5*5=25
now its: 25*25^2
do 25^2 first: 25 * 25 =625
625*25
625*25=15,625
your answer 15,625
