Question

Please help and explain

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

Yep, what you did there is correct!

The expression was:
`((5^2)/(4) )^4`

So let's solve this step by step.

First the numerator

`(5^2)^4`

Is the same thing as

`5^8`

Since the exponents are multiplied.

Next is the denominator

`4^4`

This can stay the same, since solving it as 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 will only make the fraction more complicated. Also, the answer choices below show that the denominator stays in exponential form.

==>
`(5^8)/(4^4)` is our final answer!

So the answer to this question is D. You got the question correct! :)

I hope that helped!!
