Math Problem Statement

{(5-²×5³)÷5⁵}⁰

Solution

Let's simplify the given expression step-by-step:

(52×5355)0\left(\frac{5^{-2} \times 5^3}{5^5}\right)^0

Step 1: Simplify the powers in the numerator

Use the property of exponents am×an=am+na^m \times a^n = a^{m+n}:

52×53=52+3=51=55^{-2} \times 5^3 = 5^{-2 + 3} = 5^1 = 5

Step 2: Substitute back into the expression

(555)0\left(\frac{5}{5^5}\right)^0

Step 3: Simplify the fraction using the property aman=amn\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}

555=515=54\frac{5}{5^5} = 5^{1 - 5} = 5^{-4}

Step 4: The expression now becomes

(54)0(5^{-4})^0

Step 5: Apply the rule a0=1a^0 = 1 (for any non-zero aa)

(54)0=1(5^{-4})^0 = 1

Final Answer

1\boxed{1}
