Q. Select the equivalent expression.\newlinex5x5x6 \frac{x^{5} \cdot x^{5}}{x^{6}} \newline1x6 \frac{1}{x^{6}} \newlinex6 x^{6} \newlinex4 x^{4} \newline1x4 \frac{1}{x^{4}}
  1. Apply Exponent Rule: Apply the exponent rule for multiplication, which states that when you multiply two powers with the same base, you add the exponents.\newlineSo, x5×x5x^{5} \times x^{5} becomes x5+5x^{5+5}.\newlineCalculation: 5+5=105 + 5 = 10\newlineTherefore, x5×x5=x10x^{5} \times x^{5} = x^{10}.
  2. Divide by Exponent Rule: Now, divide the result by x(6)x^{(6)} using the exponent rule for division, which states that when you divide two powers with the same base, you subtract the exponents.\newlineSo, x(10)/x(6)x^{(10)} / x^{(6)} becomes x(106)x^{(10-6)}.\newlineCalculation: 106=410 - 6 = 4\newlineTherefore, x(10)/x(6)=x4x^{(10)} / x^{(6)} = x^{4}.
  3. Check Answer Choices: Check the answer choices to see which one matches the result from Step 22.\newlineThe correct answer is x4x^{4}.
