What is the value of c in the equation below?
please answer quick

You can use the rule of exponents
[tex] \cfrac{x^y}{x^z} = x^{y-z} [/tex]
to write
[tex] \cfrac{5^5}{5^2} = 5^{5-2} = 5^3 [/tex]
So, even if not required, we have a = 5 and b = 3.
Finally, if c equals all this, we have
[tex] c = 5^3 = 5\cdot 5 \cdot 5 = 125 [/tex]
Note that when dividing, and the base is the same, you can subtract the power signs.
(5^5)/(5^2) = 5^(5 - 2)
5 - 2 = 3
5^3 = a^b
Simplify.
5^3 = 5 x 5 x 5
5 x 5 x 5 = 125
c = 125
