Q. Perform the operation and simplify the answer fully.5x⋅53x3Answer:
Write Expression: Write down the expression to be simplified.We have the expression 5x⋅53x3.
Multiply Numerators and Denominators: Multiply the numerators and denominators separately.When multiplying fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.5×5x×3x3
Simplify Numerator: Simplify the multiplication of the numerators.To multiply x by 3x3, we add the exponents of x (since the bases are the same and we are multiplying).x1×x3=x1+3=x4So, the numerator becomes 3×x4.
Simplify Denominator: Simplify the multiplication of the denominators.The denominator is simply the multiplication of 5 by 5, which is 25.
Combine Simplified Terms: Combine the simplified numerator and denominator.The simplified expression is (3×x4)/25.
Check for Common Factors: Check for any common factors that can be canceled out. Since there are no common factors between the numerator and the denominator, the expression is already fully simplified.
