Given the expression:


5^(-2)\ast5^5

To find the equivalent expression, let's simplify the expression using power rule.


a^m\ast a^n=a^(m+n)

Since they have the same base, we are to add the exponents.

We have:


5^(-2)\text{ }\ast5^5=5^(-2+5)=5^3

Therefore, the eqivalent expression is 5³

ANSWER:


5^3
