Final answer:

To determine the volume of a cube with side length 5x²y³, you cube the side length, resulting in 125x⁶y⁹, which is answer A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks us to determine the volume of a cube with a side length of 5x²y³ using the exponent laws. To find the volume of a cube, we cube the side length. In this case:

V = (5x²y³)³

Applying the cubing of exponentials, we calculate both the numerical and variable parts:

  • Cube the numerical coefficient: 5³ = 125
  • Multiply the exponents of the variables by 3: (x²)³ = x²× 3 = x⁶ and (y³)³ = y³× 3 = y⁹

Therefore, the volume of the cube is:

V = 125x⁶y⁹

Thus, the correct answer is A. 125x⁶y⁹.
