Question

5^6/5^2 = a^b what is the value of b

Answer 1

maybe 4

Explanation:

The fraction reduces to ...

`(5^6)/(5^2)=5^(6-2)=5^4`

This could mean that a=5, b=4.

The value can be rewritten using other values for a, for example, ...

5^4 = 25^2 = 125^(4/3) = 625^1

The value of b depends on the value of a, which is not specified.
