1. Problem Description

We are given the equation 5n+3252n2=50\frac{5^{n+3}}{25^{2n-2}} = 5^0 and we need to find the value of nn.

2. Solution Steps

First, rewrite the equation using the fact that 25=5225 = 5^2:
5n+3(52)2n2=50\frac{5^{n+3}}{(5^2)^{2n-2}} = 5^0
Using the power of a power rule, (am)n=amn(a^m)^n = a^{mn}, we have:
5n+352(2n2)=50\frac{5^{n+3}}{5^{2(2n-2)}} = 5^0
5n+354n4=50\frac{5^{n+3}}{5^{4n-4}} = 5^0
Using the quotient of powers rule, aman=amn\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}, we have:
5(n+3)(4n4)=505^{(n+3)-(4n-4)} = 5^0
5n+34n+4=505^{n+3-4n+4} = 5^0
53n+7=505^{-3n+7} = 5^0
Since the bases are equal, we can equate the exponents:
3n+7=0-3n+7 = 0
Now, solve for nn:
3n=7-3n = -7
n=73n = \frac{-7}{-3}
n=73n = \frac{7}{3}
However, none of the given options match n=73n = \frac{7}{3}. Let's check if there was an error in the problem statement or if one of the options is the correct answer.
Let's test the given values of nn in the original equation:
A. n=1n = 1:
51+3252(1)2=54250=541=5450\frac{5^{1+3}}{25^{2(1)-2}} = \frac{5^4}{25^0} = \frac{5^4}{1} = 5^4 \neq 5^0
B. n=2n = 2:
52+3252(2)2=55252=55(52)2=5554=554=5150\frac{5^{2+3}}{25^{2(2)-2}} = \frac{5^5}{25^2} = \frac{5^5}{(5^2)^2} = \frac{5^5}{5^4} = 5^{5-4} = 5^1 \neq 5^0
C. n=3n = 3:
53+3252(3)2=56254=56(52)4=5658=568=5250\frac{5^{3+3}}{25^{2(3)-2}} = \frac{5^6}{25^4} = \frac{5^6}{(5^2)^4} = \frac{5^6}{5^8} = 5^{6-8} = 5^{-2} \neq 5^0
D. n=5n = 5:
55+3252(5)2=58258=58(52)8=58516=5816=5850\frac{5^{5+3}}{25^{2(5)-2}} = \frac{5^8}{25^8} = \frac{5^8}{(5^2)^8} = \frac{5^8}{5^{16}} = 5^{8-16} = 5^{-8} \neq 5^0
It appears that there may be an error in the problem statement or the given options. However, if the question was 5n+3252n2=1\frac{5^{n+3}}{25^{2n-2}} = 1, then 50=15^0 = 1 and 3n+7=0-3n+7 = 0 gives n=73n = \frac{7}{3}

3. Final Answer

None of the provided options are correct. The value of nn that satisfies the equation is 73\frac{7}{3}.
Final Answer: n = 7/3
