Q. Which expressions are equivalent to 6×6×6×6×6?Choose 2 answers:A)(62)3B)25×35C)6166D)32×23
Understand Given Expression: Understand the given expression.The given expression is 6∗6∗6∗6∗6, which is 6 raised to the power of 5, or 65.
Evaluate Choices: Evaluate each choice to see if it is equivalent to 65. Start with choice A: (62)3. Using the rule of exponents (am)n=am∗n, we calculate (62)3=62∗3=66, which is not equal to 65.
Choice A Evaluation: Move on to choice B: 25×35. Using the rule of exponents for multiplication with the same exponent (a×b)n=an×bn, we can reverse this to see if 25×35 is equivalent to 65. Since 6=2×3, we can write 65 as (2×3)5=25×35. Therefore, choice B is equivalent to 65.
Choice B Evaluation: Evaluate choice C: (66)/(61). Using the rule of exponents for division am/an=am−n, we calculate (66)/(61)=66−1=65. Therefore, choice C is equivalent to 65.
Choice C Evaluation: Evaluate choice D: 32×23. This choice represents the multiplication of different bases raised to different powers. It cannot be simplified to a single base raised to a single power without additional factors. Therefore, it cannot be equivalent to 65.
Choice D Evaluation: Select the correct choices.From the evaluations, we have determined that choices B and C are equivalent to 65.
