Question

If a and b are distinct positive primes such that $\sqrt[3]{a^{6} b^{- 4}} = a^{x} b^{2 y}$ ,find x and y.

Open in App

Solution

$\sqrt[3]{a^{6} b^{- 4}} = a^{x} b^{2 y} (a^{6} b^{- 4})^{\frac{1}{3}} = a^{x} b^{2 y} a^{\frac{6}{3}} . b^{\frac{- 4}{3}} = a^{x} b^{2 y} \Rightarrow a^{2} . b^{\frac{- 4}{3}} = a^{x} . b^{2 y} C o m p a r i n g, w e g e t a^{x} = a^{2} \Rightarrow x = 2 a n d b^{\frac{- 4}{3}} = b^{2 y} \Rightarrow 2 y = \frac{- 4}{3} \Rightarrow y = \frac{- 4}{3 \times 2} = \frac{- 2}{3} ∴ x = 2, y = \frac{- 2}{3}$
