Q. Which expressions are equivalent to 6×6×6×6×6?Choose 2 answers:A) (62)3B) 25×35C) 6166D) 32×23
Understand original expression: Understand the original expression.The original expression is 6∗6∗6∗6∗6, which is 6 raised to the power of 5, or 65.
Evaluate option A: Evaluate option A.Option A is (62)3. According to the rule of exponents, (am)n=am∗n. So, (62)3=62∗3=66, which is not equal to 65.
Evaluate option B: Evaluate option B.Option B is 25×35. Since 6 is the product of 2 and 3, we can express 65 as (2×3)5. Using the distributive property of exponents over multiplication, (2×3)5=25×35. Therefore, option B is equivalent to 65.
Evaluate option C: Evaluate option C.Option C is (66)/(61). According to the rule of exponents for division, am/an=a(m−n). So, (66)/(61)=6(6−1)=65, which is equal to the original expression.
Evaluate option D: Evaluate option D.Option D is 32×23. This is not equivalent to 65 because 32×23=9×8=72, which is not in the form of a single base raised to a single exponent and does not equal 6 raised to any power.
