Exercise 2 Page 538

Factor out the greatest common factor in the numerator.

G

Practice makes perfect

Notice that we can factor out the greatest common factor in the numerator because the bases of both exponents are the same.

5^6- 5^5/4
5^(1+6)-5^5/4
5* 5^5-5^5/4
5 * 5^5-1 * 5^5/4
5^5(5-1)/4
5^5(4)/4
5^5 * 4/4
5^5* 1
5^5

Therefore, the correct option is G.
