Explain how the Quotient of Powers was used to simplify this expression.


5 to the fourth power, over 25 = 52

ABy simplifying 25 to 52 to make both powers base five and subtracting the exponents

BBy simplifying 25 to 52 to make both powers base five and adding the exponents

CBy finding the quotient of the bases to be one fifth and cancelling common factors

DBy finding the quotient of the bases to be one fifth and simplifying the expression

Verified Answer :

5^4
------ = 52
25

5^4
------ = 52 oh i think really this 52 mean to be 5^2
5^2

5^(4-2) = 5^2

5^2 = 5^2 

hope helped
