True/False

A quality control specialist is auditing a series of algebraic formulas used in manufacturing, including the product: 3a2−8a−3a2−25⋅a2+10a+253a2−14a−5\frac{3a^2-8a-3}{a^2-25} \cdot \frac{a^2+10a+25}{3a^2-14a-5}. True or False: In the final stage of simplifying this expression, if the result contains repeated factors like (a−5)(a−5)(a-5)(a-5), the standard procedure is to rewrite them using an exponent, such as (a−5)2(a-5)^2.
