When (81x^2/7) (2/9x^3/7) is simplified, it can be written in the form ax^b where a and b are real numbers. Find ab.

In improper form your solution will be . As a mixed fraction it will be .

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we want to do here is to simplify this expression. After doing so, " a " and " b " should be multiplied to result in a possible improper fraction,

- Apply exponential rule " "

= - Combine fractions and

= - Multiply the fractions, and simplify further

= = - This is out simplified expression

Now that we have this simplified expression, we can see that a = , and b = . Therefore, multiplying the two we should receive the improper fraction as follows,

= - Note that this is in improper form. If you want your solution in a mixed fraction, it will be .

if a = 1,   and b = 2, then the answer is 47.99999999. if you round that to the nearest whole number, the answer is 48.
