Calculate the expression -5^2 + (-5)^2 / 5^2

The problem is to evaluate the expression:

We need to follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS).

First, let’s evaluate the terms in the numerator:
Term 1: . In this case, the exponent applies only to the base 5, not to the negative sign. So, we first calculate , and then apply the negative sign.

Term 2: . Here, the parentheses indicate that the exponent applies to the entire base . So, we multiply by itself.

Now, we can substitute these values back into the numerator:
Numerator =

Next, let’s evaluate the denominator:
Denominator =

Finally, we can evaluate the entire fraction:

Dividing 0 by any non-zero number results in 0.

Thus, the value of the expression is 0.

Final Answer: The final answer is
