document.write( "Notice that 729 = 3^6;  Therefore, equation   = 3  has a unique solution x = 1/6.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, the second equation   = 216  is   = .\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "It has a unique solution  y = -3.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Thus, xy =  = .   Answer to problem (a)\r\n" );
