Q. Select all the expressions that are equivalent to 2565. Multi-select Choices:(A) 351(B) 3(C) 3−51(D) 35
Break down base 6: Simplify the expression 65/25 by breaking down the base 6 into its prime factors.6 can be expressed as 2×3, so 65 can be written as (2×3)5.
Apply power to factors: Apply the power to each factor inside the parentheses.(2×3)5=25×35
Divide by 25: Divide 25×35 by 25.Since we have 25 in both the numerator and the denominator, they cancel each other out.25×35/25=35
Compare with choices: Compare the result with the given choices.The expression 2565 simplifies to 35. Now we need to check which of the given choices are equivalent to 35.
Evaluate each choice: Evaluate each choice to see if it is equivalent to 35. (A) 351 is not equivalent because it is the reciprocal of 35. (B) 3 is not equivalent because it is 31, not 35. (C) 3−51 is equivalent because the negative exponent means the reciprocal, so it simplifies to 35. (D) 35 is clearly equivalent because it is the same expression.
