Explain how the Quotient of Powers was used to simplify this expression. 5 to the 4th power over 25 equals 5 to the 2nd power.
A. By simplifying 25 to 5 to the 2nd power to make both powers base five, and subtracting the exponents.
B. By simplifying 25 to 5 to the 2nd power to make both powers base five, and adding the base exponents
C. By finding the quotient of the bases to be 1/5, and cancelling common factors
D. By finding the quotient of the bases to be 1/5, and simplifying the expression

Respuesta :

mergl
A, as quotient's denominators' exponents are negative and are subtracted from those of the numerator during simplification
