Is the equation 5^−5 ⋅ (3^√5)^12=15true or false? Enter 1 for true or 2 for false.(1 point)

1 answer

Let's simplify the equation step by step.

We have:

\[ 5^{-5} \cdot (3^{\sqrt{5}})^{12} \]

First, simplify \((3^{\sqrt{5}})^{12}\):

\[ (3^{\sqrt{5}})^{12} = 3^{12\sqrt{5}} \]

Thus, the equation becomes:

\[ 5^{-5} \cdot 3^{12\sqrt{5}} \]

Now, let's compare this expression to 15:

We know that:

\[ 15 = 3^1 \cdot 5^1 \]

For the two sides to be equal, the powers of 3 and 5 would need to match exactly.

The left-hand side has the term \(3^{12\sqrt{5}}\) and the term \(5^{-5}\), while the right-hand side has \(3^1\) and \(5^1\).

Since \(12\sqrt{5}\) is not equal to 1, and \(-5\) is also not equal to 1, we can conclude that the original equation is false.

Thus, the answer is:

\[ \text{2 for false} \]

So, the final answer is 2.
