5^(k-1) is equal to 5^K * 5^-1
to make it clearer, 2^-1 = 1/2 or 0.5
therefore, 5^(K-1) = 5^K * 5^-1 = (1/5)(5^K)
Its pretty straightfwd after that

Do OG questions repeat on GMATprep ?

Although I did score 750 (Q51, V39) I know I am not near the 750 range. My only concern now is if the same thing happens during the GMATPrep test...

I was wondering about the answer choices given. Would
- cost associated with
- cost arising from
- cost of
mean the same thing in this sentence?? The OG discards them because they are not parallel but would the meaning of the sentence stay the same with these 3 choices ? Just curious to know.
