The equivalent expression is a³b

Using the expression given for our Calculation;


  • (ab^(2))^(3) / b^(5)

To simplify;

multiply the exponent 3 by the exponent of each variable,

We have ;

a³b⁶

The expression becomes ;


a^(3)b^(6)/ b^(5)

Simply the b⁶/b⁵;

b⁶/b⁵ = b¹

The simplified form of the expression is : a³b
