Q:

3^8 a^10 b^-5 c^2 over 3^12 a^7 b^-3 c^-2 when a =4 b= 8 and c= 3

Accepted Solution

A:
[tex]\bf \cfrac{3^8a^{10}b^{-5}c^2}{3^{12}a^7b^{-3}c^{-2}}\implies \cfrac{a^{10}a^{-7}c^2c^2}{3^{12}\cdot 3^{-8}b^{-3}b^5}\implies \cfrac{a^{10-7}c^{2+2}}{3^{12-8}b^{-3+5}}\implies \cfrac{a^3c^4}{3^4b^2}~\hfill \begin{cases} a=4\\ b=8\\ c=3 \end{cases}[/tex][tex]\bf \cfrac{4^3\cdot ~~\begin{matrix} 3^4 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}{~~\begin{matrix} 3^4 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~\cdot 8^2}\implies \cfrac{~~\begin{matrix} 64 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}{~~\begin{matrix} 64 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}\implies 1[/tex]
