How do I go about solving (27x^3/8y^9)^5/3? And what is the role of the numerator and denominator?

1 answer:

5 0

$\left( \frac{27x^3}{8y^9}\right)^ \frac{5}{3} \\\\\\ =\left( \frac{(3x)^3}{(2y^3)^3}\right)^ \frac{5}{3} \\\\\\ = \frac{(3x)^{3 \times \frac{5}{3} }}{(2y^3)^{3 \times \frac{5}{3} }} \\\\\\ =\frac{(3x)^5}{(2y^3)^{5 }} \\\\\\ =\frac{243x^5}{32y^{15}}$

Now, If the exponent was negative like you asked....

$\left( \frac{27x^3}{8y^9}\right)^ {-\frac{5}{3}} \\\\\\ =\left( \frac{8y^9}{27x^3}\right)^ {\frac{5}{3}}\\\\\\ =\left( \frac{(2y^3)^3}{(3x)^3}\right)^ \frac{5}{3} \\\\\\ = \frac{(2y^3)^{3 \times \frac{5}{3} }}{(3x)^{3 \times \frac{5}{3} }} \\\\\\ =\frac{(2y^3)^{5 }}{(3x)^5} \\\\\\ =\frac{32y^{15}}{243x^5}$

Given:

A man owns 3/4 of the share of a business and sells 1/3 of his shares for Bir 10,000.

To find:

The value of the business in Bir.

Solution:

Let x be the value of the business.

It is given that a man owns 3/4 of the share of a business and sells 1/3 of his shares for Bir 10,000.

$x\times \dfrac{3}{4}\times \dfrac{1}{3}=10000$
