Answer 2

So, what do I need to dothere.

Answer 3

\[\left( x^2y^3 \right)^5=x ^{2*5}y ^{3*5}=x ^{10}y ^{15}\]
a has exponent 1,b has exponent 3,
can you solve?
i have given you an example.

Answer 4

you got it or should i proceed.

Answer 5

\[=\frac{ 1 }{ a^4b ^{3*4} }=\frac{ 1 }{ a^4b ^{12} }\]

Answer 6

Yeah is that the answer than ?
