Answer: 5^3 / 5^-3 = 5^6 = 15,625

Explanation:

Ok, you may find useful for problems like this the next two relations:


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


x^a/x^b = x^(a - b)

Now we have the equation:

5^3/5^-3

We have a quotient, then we need to use the second relationship, where:

x = 5

a = 3

b = -3

5^3/5^-3 = 5^(3 - (-3)) = 5^(3 + 3) = 5^6 = 15,625
