Question

prove that
(x^a/x^b) 1/ ab.(x^ b/ x^ c) 1/ bc.(x^ c/ x^ a) 1/ ca= 1​

Answer 1

Answer:

Prove that (x^a/x^b) ^1/ab ( x^b /x^c) ^1/bc (x^c/x^a) ^1/ca= 1

Given: (xa/xb)^1/ab( xb /xc)^1/bc(xc/xa)1/ca

We need to prove the gives equation is unity that si 1

LHS=(xa/xb)^1/ab( xb /xc)^1/bc(xc/xa)1/ca

Using laws of exponents

= (xa/xb)1/ab( xb /xc)1/bc(xc/xa)1/ca

= x(a-b)/ab * x^(b-c)/bc * x^(c-a)/ca

= x[(a-b)/ab + (b-c)/bc + (c-a)/ca]

= x[c(a-b)/abc + a(b-c)/abc + b(c-a)/abc ]

= x { [c(a-b)+ a(b-c) + b(c-a) ]/abc }

= x ( ac – bc + ab – ac + bc – ab ] /abc

= x 0/abc

= x0

= 1

= RHS

Hence proved
