Answer:

c step 3

Explanation:

from the correct x^(2/5) do we suddenly get to

x^(5/2).

1/x³ = x^(-3) is a correct identity, and using it has no impact on x^(2/5). that should still stay x^(2/5).

the correct step 3 is then

x^(2/5)x^(-3)

step 4 is then

x^(2/5 - 3) = x^(2/5 - 15/5) = x^(-13)/5
