Step 1
"For any rational exponent mn mn in lowest terms, where mm and nn are integers and n>0, n>0 we define amn=(n{a})m=n{am}amn(an)m=amn
If nn is even, then we require that a0a0"
Step 2
x5x5
Consider the given expression,
x5x5=(x5)12(x5)12
Apply Law of exponents amn=(n{a})m=n{am}amn=(an)m=amn we get,
(x5)12=x52(x5)12=x52
Therefore the expression x5x5 simplifies to x52x52
