Step 1:

To answer each of the questions, you will apply the multiplication and division laws of the exponent.


\begin{gathered} \text{Multiplication law} \\ \text{If m}^n\text{ }* m^t=m^(n+t) \\ \text{Division law} \\ \text{If m}^n\text{ }(.)/(.)m^t=m^(n-t) \end{gathered}

Step 2:


\begin{gathered} a)5^3\text{ }*5^(-4)=5^(3-4) \\ =5^(-1) \\ =\text{ }(1)/(5) \\ \end{gathered}
