Answer 1

Answer:

a= 1 b= 7

Step-by-step explanation:

X^2y12/ xy^5

= x^2–1 • y^12–5

= xy^7

Answer 2

Answer:

$xy^7=x^ay^b$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{x^2(y^3)^4}{xy^5} = x^a * y^b$ = $\frac{x^2(y^12)}{xy^5} = x^a * y^b$

$\frac{x^2(y^12)}{xy^5} = x^a * y^b$ = $\frac{x^2(y^7)}{x} = x^a y^b$

$\frac{x^2(y^7)}{x} = x^a y^b$ = $x^1y^7 = x^ay^b$

$x^1y^7 = x^ay^b$ = $xy^7=x^ay^b$
