See the solution process below:

Use this rule or property of exponents to evaluate the expression:

#x^color(red)(a) xx x^color(blue)(b) = x^(color(red)(a) + color(blue)(b))#

#5^color(red)(0) * 5^color(blue)(5) * 5^color(green)(-3) = 5^(color(red)(0) + color(blue)(5) + color(green)(-3)) = 5^2 = 25#

How do you evaluate the expression #5^0*5^5*5^-3# using the properties?
