Answer:


13^(3)

Explanation:

The multiplication exponent laws states that when two numbers with the same base are multiplied together, the exponents will add together, so:


x^(a)*x^(b) =x^(a+b)

Let's rewrite the question in this format:


13^(2) *13^(-4) *13^(5) =13^(?)

This is equal to:


13^(2) *13^(-4) *13^(5) =13^(2-4+5)

2-4+5=3

Therefore the answer is
13^(3).

Hope this helped!
