Respuesta :

We need to know how the given expression was simplified.

"5 to the fourth power, over 25 = 52":

[tex]\frac{5^4}{25}[/tex]

First, we need to convert 25 into a number with power

5²= 25

Then:

[tex]\frac{5^4}{5^2}[/tex]

Simplify by subtracting exponents:

[tex]\frac{5^{4}}{5^{2}}=5^4\ast5^2=5^{4-2}=5^2[/tex]

Hence, we used the first option method.

The correct answer is the first one.
