To simplify this expression, we can use the rule of exponents that states: x^a / x^b = x^(a-b).
In this case, we have x^5 / x^(-5). Using the rule, we subtract the exponents:
x^(5 - (-5))
Recall that subtracting a negative is the same as adding, so this simplifies to:
x^(5 + 5)
Which further simplifies to:
x^10
Therefore, x^5 / x^(-5) simplifies to x^10.
x^5/x^-5
