Question

which expression is equivalent to \\(\left( \frac{125^2}{125^{\frac{4}{3}}} \
ight)\\)?

  • \\(\frac{1}{25}\\)
  • \\(\frac{1}{10}\\)
  • 10
  • 25

Explanation:

Simplify the inner fraction

Using the Exponent Rules and Rational Exponents knowledge points

$$ \frac{125^2}{125^{\frac{4}{3}}} = 125^{2 - \frac{4}{3}} = 125^{\frac{6}{3} - \frac{4}{3}} = 125^{\frac{2}{3}} $$

Evaluate the simplified expression

Using the Rational Exponents knowledge point

$$ 125^{\frac{2}{3}} = (125^{\frac{1}{3}})^2 = (5)^2 = 25 $$

Answer:

  • (A) \(\frac{1}{25}\)
  • (B) \(\frac{1}{10}\)
  • (C) \(10\)
  • (D) \(25\) (Correct answer)
