Apply Power Rule: To simplify the expression (−5x5y)5, we need to apply the power of a power rule, which states that (am)n=am∗n for any real number a and integersm and n.
Raise Factors to Fifth Power: Applying the power of a power rule to the given expression, we raise each factor inside the parentheses to the fifth power: (−5)5, (x5)5, and y5.
Calculate Each Part: Calculating each part separately, we get:(−5)5=−3125 (since −5 multiplied by itself 5 times is −3125),(x5)5=x(5∗5)=x25 (multiplying the exponents),y5=y5 (since it's already in the correct form).
Combine Results: Combining these results, we get the fully simplified expression: −3125x25y5.
