Question

The value of 5^2000+5^1999/5^1999-5^1997

Answer 1

Explanation:

We can simplify the expression by factoring out a common factor of 5^1999 from the numerator:

5^2000 + 5^1999

= 5^1999(5 + 1)

= 5^1999(6)

And we can also factor out a common factor of 5^1997 from the denominator:

5^1999 - 5^1997

= 5^1997(5^2 - 1)

= 5^1997(24)

So the entire expression simplifies to:

(5^2000 + 5^1999) / (5^1999 - 5^1997)

= (5^1999 * 6) / (5^1997 * 24)

= (6/24) * 5^2

= 5/2

Therefore, the value of the expression is 5/2.
