Yeah uh I have no idea how to do this Use exponent laws to simplify this :
9√(a^-5 b^2)

The answer is 9b / a^5/2 I just don't know how so please show steps! Thank you

9b /a^5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

9√(a^-5 b^2)

9 sqrt( a^ -5 b^2)

Rewriting sqrt as ^1/2

9 ( a^ -5 b^2)^1/2

9 ( a^ -5) ^1/2 ( b^2)^1/2

we know that  an exponent to an exponent means multiply

9 a^ (-5*1/2)  b^(2*1/2)

9 a^-5/2 b^1

9b a^ -5/2

We know that x^-y = 1/x^y

9b /a^5/2

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
