Respuesta :

when dividing subtract the powers

 so  you would do 6-2 = 4

 so b = 4

Answer:

The value of b is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

[tex]\frac{5^6}{5^2}=a^b[/tex]

According to the property of exponent,

[tex]\frac{x^a}{x^b}=x^{a-b}[/tex]

Using this property of exponent, the given equation can be written as

[tex]5^{6-2}=a^b[/tex]

[tex]5^{4}=a^b[/tex]

On comparing both the sides, we get

[tex]a=5,b=4[/tex]

Therefore the value of b is 4.
