Write each power as a product of the same factor.
5^4
a. 5 × 5 × 5 × 5
b. 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4
c. 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5
d. 5 × 5 × 5
My answer c.
5^2 = 5 * 5
5^3 = 5 * 5 * 5
5^4 = 5 * 5 * 5 * 5
Ok!Thanks
You're welcome.
Great! The correct answer is indeed option c: 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5.
To arrive at this answer, you need to understand how to write a power as a product of the same factor. In the given question, we have the number 5 raised to the power of 4, which means we need to multiply 5 by itself four times.
To do this, you can start with 5 and multiply it by itself repeatedly until you have multiplied it four times.
So, let's break it down step by step:
1. Start with 5: 5
2. Multiply 5 by itself: 5 × 5 = 25
3. Multiply 25 by 5 again: 25 × 5 = 125
4. Multiply 125 by 5 one more time: 125 × 5 = 625
Therefore, the product of the same factor 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 equals 625.
