Answer:
not equivalent
equivalent
not equivalent
Step-by-step explanation:
25 is by itself already 5²
therefore
[tex] {25}^{m} = {5}^{2m} [/tex]
when we divide one time by 5, we simply take away 1 from the power making it
[tex] {5}^{2m - 1} [/tex]
the other options are wrong
[tex] {25}^{m - 1} [/tex]
would be right, if we have
[tex] {25}^{m} \div 25[/tex]
but we don't.
and
[tex] {25}^{2m - 1} [/tex]
would even square
[tex] {25}^{m} [/tex]
and then divide by 25. no, the original excision is nothing like that.
