SOLUTION: the problem involves multiplication, not subtraction. An exponent rule involving multiplying like bases should lead to the correct result.
(a^3 b)(ab)^4
(a^(3^b ) )*(ab)^4=a

Question 322327: the problem involves multiplication, not subtraction. An exponent rule involving multiplying like bases should lead to the correct result.
(a^3 b)(ab)^4
(a^(3^b ) )*(ab)^4=a^3 +^4*b^1 +^4
(a^(3^b ) )*(ab)^4=a^7*b^5
