If a and b are different positive primes such that$\Big(\frac{\text{a}^{-1}\text{b}^2}{\text{a}^2\text{b}^2}\Big)^7\div\Big(\frac{\text{a}^3\text{b}^{-5}}{\text{a}^{-1}\text{b}^3}\Big)=\text{a}^\text{x}\text{b}^\text{y},$ find x and y.

Answer

$\Big(\frac{\text{a}^{-1}\text{b}^2}{\text{a}^2\text{b}^2}\Big)^7\div\Big(\frac{\text{a}^3\text{b}^{-5}}{\text{a}^{-1}\text{b}^3}\Big)=\text{a}^\text{x}\text{b}^\text{y}$$\Rightarrow(​\text{a}^{-1-2}\times\text{b}^{2+4})^7\div(\text{a}^{3+2}\times\text{b}^{-5-3})=\text{a}^\text{x}\text{b}^\text{y}$
$\Rightarrow(\text{a}^{-3}\times\text{b}^{6})\div(\text{a}^5\times\text{b}^{-\text{8}})=\text{a}^\text{x}\text{b}^\text{y}$
$\Rightarrow(\text{a}^{-21}\times\text{b}^{42})\div(\text{a}^5\times\text{b}^{-8})=\text{a}^\text{x}\text{b}^\text{y}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{a}^{21}\times\text{b}^{42}}{\text{a}^5\times\text{b}^{-8}}=\text{a}^\text{x}\text{b}^\text{y}$
$\Rightarrow\text{a}^{-21-5}\times\text{b}^{42+8}=\text{a}^\text{x}\times\text{b}^\text{y}$
$\Rightarrow\text{a}^{-26}\times\text{b}^{50}=\text{a}^\text{x}\times\text{b}^\text{y}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=-26$ and $\text{y}=50$
