Problem 4:
We need to evaluate the expression:
Simplifying the numerator:
The terms and cancel each other out, leaving:
So the expression becomes:
This simplifies to:
Multiplying by :
Thus, the answer is , which corresponds to option B.
Problem 5:
We need to simplify the expression:
First, express 25, 625, and 125 in terms of base 5:
- , so
- , so
- , so
Substitute these back into the expression:
Thus, the answer is , which corresponds to option C.
Problem 6:
We need to simplify the expression:
First, express 4 as a power of 2:
- , so and
Substitute these into the expression:
Now simplify:
Thus, the expression becomes:
This is simplified as:
So the answer is option A: .
Problem 7:
Simplify the following expression:
Start by simplifying the powers for each variable:
