Q. Select all the expressions that are equivalent to 55×855^5 \times 8^5.\newlineMulti-select Choices:\newline(A) 40540^5\newline(B) 1405\frac{1}{40^5}\newline(C) 1405\frac{1}{40^{-5}}\newline(D) 402540^{25}
  1. Simplify using property of exponents: We need to find expressions equivalent to 55×855^5 \times 8^5. We can start by simplifying the expression using the property of exponents that states am×bm=(a×b)ma^m \times b^m = (a \times b)^m.\newlineSo, 55×85=(5×8)5=4055^5 \times 8^5 = (5 \times 8)^5 = 40^5.
  2. Compare with choices: Now let's compare the given choices with our simplified expression 40540^5.\newline(A) 40540^5 is exactly what we found, so this is equivalent.\newline(B) 1/4051/40^5 is the reciprocal of 40540^5, so it is not equivalent.\newline(C) 1/4051/40^{-5} is the reciprocal of 40540^{-5}, which is 40540^5, so this is equivalent.\newline(D) 402540^{25} is not equivalent because it represents 4040 raised to the 2525th power, not the 55th power.
