Question

7^2 × 7^8. 7^a------------ = -------- = 7^b7^4 7^4

Answer 1

Answer: 10 and 6 for the next one its 2, 3, and 8

Step-by-step explanation: i hope this helps :)

Answer 2

We have to find the values of a and b:

`(7^2\cdot7^8)/(7^4)=(7^a)/(7^4)=7^b`

We can use the laws of exponents to write:

`\begin{gathered} 7^2\cdot7^8=7^a \\ 7^(2+8)=7^a \\ 7^(10)=7^a \\ 10=a \end{gathered}`

Then, we can solve for b as:

`\begin{gathered} (7^a)/(7^4)=7^b \\ 7^(a-4)=7^b \\ a-4=b \\ 10-4=b \\ 6=b \end{gathered}`

Answer: a=10 and b=6
