Question

2 power 8 × a power 5 × b power 3 / 4 power 2 × a power 2 × b​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2⁸ * a⁵ * b³ / 4² * a² * b

= 2⁸ * a⁵ * b³ / (2²)² * a² * b

=2⁸ * a⁵ * b³ / 2⁴ * a² * b         (∵  (xᵃ)ᵇ = xᵃᵇ)

= 2⁸⁻⁴ * a⁵⁻² * b³⁻¹                    ( ∵ xᵃ/xᵇ = xᵃ⁻ᵇ)

= 2⁴ * a³ * b².
