Q. Which expressions are equivalent to x54 ?Choose all answers that apply:A (4x)5B 5x41C (x4)5D None of the above
Understanding exponents: Understand the properties of exponents. The expression x54 can be rewritten using the property of exponents that states xba=(bx)a.
Applying property to option A: Apply the property to option A.Option A is (4x)5. According to the property, this is equivalent to x45, which is not the same as x54.
Applying property to option B: Apply the property to option B.Option B is 5x41. This can be rewritten as (x41)51, which according to the property of exponents (xa)b=xa∗b, is x(41)∗(51)=x201, which is not the same as x54.
Applying property to option C: Apply the property to option C.Option C is (x4)5. According to the property of exponents (xa)b=xa∗b, this is x4∗5=x20, which is not the same as x54.
Determining equivalent options: Determine if any of the options are equivalent to x54. None of the options A, B, or C are equivalent to x54, so the correct answer is D, None of the above.
