Question
Simplify and write the following in exponential form: $\frac{9^8\times(\text{x}^2)^5}{(27)^4\times(\text{x}^3)^2}$

Answer

$\frac{9^8\times(\text{x}^2)^5}{(27)^4\times(\text{x}^3)^2}$
$=\frac{(3^2)^8\times(\text{x}^2)^5}{(3^3)^4\times(\text{x}^3)^2}$
$=\frac{3^{16}\times\text{x}^{10}}{3^{12}\times\text{x}^6}$
$=3^{16-12}\times\text{x}^{10-6}$
$=3^4\times\text{x}^4$
$=(3\text{x})^{4}$
