Answer:

rules of exponents apply

Explanation:

The applicable rules of exponents are ...

a^-b = 1/a^b

(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)

__

Applying those rules to the given equation, you get ...


\left((1)/(5)\right)^4\cdot\left((1)/(5)\right)^2=5^(-6)\\\\ \left((1)/(5^4)\right)\cdot\left((1)/(5^2)\right)=5^(-6)\\\\ (5^(-4))(5^(-2))=5^(-6)\\\\5^(-4-2)=5^(-6)\\\\5^(-6)=5^(-6)
