Solution

Let's work through the questions step by step from the image you uploaded.


(a) Simplify the following expressions:

(i) ab2ca2bc3\frac{ab^2c}{a^2b c^{-3}}

We can simplify this by canceling terms and applying the laws of exponents.

  • For aa: aa2=a12=a1=1a\frac{a}{a^2} = a^{1-2} = a^{-1} = \frac{1}{a}
  • For bb: b2b=b21=b\frac{b^2}{b} = b^{2-1} = b
  • For cc: ( \
