Question
Use the properties of exponents to simplify the expression: [tex]25^{\frac{3}{2}}[/tex]
Answer:
[tex]25^{\frac{3}{2}} = 125[/tex]\
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]25^{\frac{3}{2}}[/tex]
Required
Simplify
[tex]25^{\frac{3}{2}}[/tex]
Apply the following law of indices
[tex]a^{\frac{m}{n}} = (a^m)^{\frac{1}{n}}[/tex]
So, the expression becomes
[tex]25^{\frac{3}{2}} = (25^3)^{\frac{1}{2}}[/tex]
Express [tex]25^3[/tex] as 15625
[tex]25^{\frac{3}{2}} = (15625)^{\frac{1}{2}}[/tex]
In indices: [tex]a^{\frac{1}{2}} = \sqrt a[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]25^{\frac{3}{2}} = \sqrt{15625[/tex]
[tex]25^{\frac{3}{2}} = 125[/tex]
