You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If a = x^5 and b = 2y^3 express the following in terms of x and y
a)4a%5E2b%5E3
Replace a with x^5 and b with 2y^3
4%28x%5E5%29%5E2%2A%282y%5E3%29%5E3 = 4x%5E10%2A8y%5E9
:
b)%2812a%5E5b%5E8%29%2F%286a%5E3b%5E2%29
Replace a with x^5 and b with 2y^3
%2812%28x%5E5%29%5E5%2A%282y%5E3%29%5E8%29%2F%286%28x%5E5%29%5E3%2A%282y%5E3%29%5E2%29 = %2812x%5E25%2A256y%5E24%29%2F%286x%5E15%2A4y%5E6%29
