Which expression is equivalent to StartFraction (5 a b) cubed Over 30 a Superscript negative 6 Baseline b Superscript negative 7 Baseline EndFraction? Assume a not-equals 0, b not-equals 0.

StartFraction a Superscript 7 Baseline b Superscript 10 Baseline Over 6 EndFraction
StartFraction 125 a Superscript 18 Baseline b Superscript 21 Baseline Over 30 EndFraction
StartFraction 25 a cubed b Superscript 4 Baseline Over 6 EndFraction
StartFraction 25 a Superscript 9 Baseline b Superscript 10 Baseline Over 6 EndFraction

Answer:

Option D.

Explanation:

The given expression is


((5ab)^3)/(30a^(-6)b^(-7))

We need to find the expression, which is equivalent to the given expression.

The given expression can be rewritten as


(5^3a^3b^3)/(30a^(-6)b^(-7))
[\because (ab)^m=a^mb^m]


(125)/(30)* (a^3)/(a^(-6))* (b^3)/(b^(-7))


(25)/(6)* a^(3-(-6))* b^(3-(-7))
[\because (a^m)/(a^n)=a^(m-n)]


(25)/(6)* a^(3+6)* b^(3+7)


(25a^9b^(10))/(6)

Therefore, the correct option is D.
