If \( (25)^{7.5} \times(5)^{2.5} \div(125)^{1.5}=5^{x} \) then \( x= \) ?
Step-by-step Solution:
We are given the equation:
\[
(25)^{7.5} \times (5)^{2.5} \div (125)^{1.5} = 5^x
\]
Step 1: Express all numbers as powers of 5
We rewrite the given numbers in terms of base 5:
\[
25 = 5^2, \quad 125 = 5^3
\]
Now, substitute these values into the equation:
\[
(5^2)^{7.5} \times (5)^{2.5} \div (5^3)^{1.5} = 5^x
\]
Step 2: Apply the Power Rule
Using \((a^m)^n = a^{m \cdot n}\):
\[
5^{(2 \times 7.5)} \times 5^{2.5} \div 5^{(3 \times 1.5)} = 5^x
\]
\[
5^{15} \times 5^{2.5} \div 5^{4.5} = 5^x
\]
Step 3: Simplify the Exponents
Using \( a^m \times a^n = a^{m+n} \):
\[
5^{(15 + 2.5)} \div 5^{4.5} = 5^x
\]
\[
5^{17.5} \div 5^{4.5} = 5^x
\]
Using \( a^m \div a^n = a^{m-n} \):
\[
5^{(17.5 - 4.5)} = 5^x
\]
\[
5^{13} = 5^x
\]
Thus, x = 13.
Final Answer
\(
{13}
\)
