Simplify Exponent Division: Simplify the expression 5^25/5. What operation should we perform with the exponents when dividing powers with the same base? When we divide powers with the same base, we subtract the exponents. a^m / a^n = a^(m - n)Calculate Result: Calculate 5^25/5 using the rule from Step 1. 5^25 / 5^1 = 5^(25 - 1) = 5^24Compare with Choices: Compare the result from Step 2 with the given choices. 5^24 matches choice (A), so (A) is equivalent to 5^25/5.Check Choice (B): Check if choice (B) is equivalent to 5^25/5. 1/5^25 is not equivalent to 5^25/5 because 1/5^25 is the reciprocal of 5^25, not a division by 5.Check Choice (C): Check if choice (C) is equivalent to 5^25/5. 5^25 is not equivalent to 5^25/5 because no division by 5 has been performed in choice (C).Check Choice (D): Check if choice (D) is equivalent to 5^25/5. 5^26 is not equivalent to 5^25/5 because 5^26 would result from multiplying 5^25 by 5, not dividing by 5.
