Thanks! Can you help with that?

Which question are you talking about

mathmale · Answer

fabgirl1994:  it'd really be fab if you'd take just a little more time and write your expressions correctly.   In your first post, the exponent is 0; you need to show that exponent as a superscript.

I only copied and pasted the questions. I'm not typing them out.

Unfortunately, that gets a lot of OS users in trouble.  
Copying and pasting does not preserve the fact that 0 is an exponent.  See my example.

Also, fab:  If expressions or equations are given in mathematical symbols, please present them here as such.  If you type them out (expressing them in words), then potential helpers will have to translate them back into math symbols.  Hope you get my drift.

anonymous · Answer

it's 8a^5b since by writing the formula given is 8b/a^-5 so we when switching a to the nominatir it will be a^5
