Answer

$2.56 \times 10^{22}$

Work Step by Step

(i) $(ab)^m=a^mb^m$ (ii) $(a^m)^n=a^{mn}$ (iii) $a^{-m} = \dfrac{1}{a^m} a\ne0$ Use the rules above to obtain: $=6.25^{-2} \times (10^{-12})^{-2} \\=\dfrac{1}{6.25^2} \times 10^{-12\cdot (-2)} \\=\dfrac{1}{39.0625} \times 10^{24} \\=0.0256 \times 10^{24} \\=(2.56 \cdot 10^{-2}) \times 10^{24} \\=2.56 \times 10^{-2+24} \\=2.56 \times 10^{22}$
