SOLUTION: Yes i have been at this for awhile and cannot figure it out it would mean a lot. Thank you
Simplify: (3^-2)^a*(3^b)^-2a/(3^-2)^b*(9^-b)^-3a
The books answer is 3^-2a+2b-8ab b

Simplify: (3^-2)^a*(3^b)^-2a/(3^-2)^b*(9^-b)^-3a
The books answer is 3^-2a+2b-8ab but I don't know how to get there. Found 2 solutions by josgarithmetic, MathTherapy:Answer by josgarithmetic(39621) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Is this exactly what you are given? ---which did not render
(3^-2)^a*(3^b)^-2a/(3^-2)^b*(9^-b)^-3a
If it isn't, then use pure text to make the expression completely clear and someone can help.
