Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
5⁴/25 = 5²
25 = 5²
Then,
5⁴ / 25
= 5⁴/5²
Note:
• multiplication sign means addition in indices
• Division sign means subtraction in indices
Both numerator and denominator have the same base, so you'll pick one of the bases and subtract the powers
So,
5⁴/5²
= 5^(4 - 2)
= 5^(2)
= 5²
Therefore,
5⁴ / 25 = 5²
