Answer:

B. The contradiction of the statement is proven false, so the original

statement is therefore proven true.

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume the opposite and then get to a point where we get a false statement.   That proves that the the opposite of the opposite ( what we originally wanted to prove) is true.

We were never taught this in class, and I understand it, kind of... but i'm just confused with everything.

\bf \cfrac{x^3y}{xy^5}\cdot \cfrac{x^2y^9}{x^8}\implies \cfrac{x^3x^2y^1y^9}{x^1x^8y^5}
\\ \quad \\
\textit{now, using exponent rules, same base, different exponent}
\\ \quad \\
\cfrac{x^{3+2}y^{1+9}}{x^{1+8}y^5}\implies \cfrac{x^5y^{10}}{x^9y^5}\\
----------------------------\\\bf \textit{now, keep in mind that}
\\ \quad \\
a^{-{ n}} \implies \cfrac{1}{a^{ n}}\qquad \qquad

\cfrac{1}{a^{ n}}\implies a^{-{ n}}
\\ \quad \\
%  negative exponential denominator
a^{{ n}} \implies \cfrac{1}{a^{- n}}
\qquad \qquad 

\cfrac{1}{a^{- n}}\implies \cfrac{1}{\frac{1}{a^{ n}}}\implies a^{{ n}}
\\ \quad \\
thus\\
----------------------------\\
\bf \cfrac{x^5y^{10}}{x^9y^5}\implies \cfrac{x^5y^{10}}{1}\cdot \cfrac{1}{x^9}\cdot \cfrac{1}{y^5}\implies x^5y^{10}\cdot x^{\boxed{-9}}\cdot y^{\boxed{-5}}
\\ \quad \\
x^5x^{-9}y^{10}y^{-5}\implies x^{5-9}y^{10-5}\implies x^{-4}y^5
\\ \quad \\
\cfrac{1}{x^{\boxed{4}}}\cdot \cfrac{y^5}{1}\implies \cfrac{y^5}{x^4}
