Step-by-Step Solution

The problem given is to simplify the expression 85×95 8^5 \times 9^5 . This problem can be solved by applying the exponent rules, specifically the Power of a Product rule.

Step-by-step solution:

  • According to the Power of a Product rule, when two expressions with the same exponent are multiplied, the product can be written as a single power expression:
    an×bn=(a×b)n a^n \times b^n = (a \times b)^n .
  • Using this rule, we can rewrite the given expression 85×95 8^5 \times 9^5 as a single power:
    (8×9)5 (8 \times 9)^5 .
  • Therefore, the expression simplifies to:
    (72)5 (72)^5 .
  • We have represented 85×95 8^5 \times 9^5 as (72)5 (72)^5 , which is its corresponding expression according to the Power of a Product rule.

By recognizing that 85×95 8^5 \times 9^5 can be expressed as a single power of 72 72 , we confirm that the problem demonstrates the application of the Power of a Product rule. All provided conversions of this expression are mathematically correct, warranting the conclusion "All answers are correct".
