Answer:
1). a = 10, b = 6
2). a = 5, b = 3, c = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Given expression is,
1). [tex]\frac{7^{6}\times 7^8}{7^4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{7^a}{7^4}=7^4[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{7^{2+8}}{7^4}[/tex] [Since [tex]x^{m}\times x^n=x^{(m+n)}[/tex]]
= [tex]\frac{7^{10}}{7^4}[/tex]
= [tex]7^{{10-4}}[/tex]
= [tex]7^{6}[/tex]
Therefore, a = 10 and b = 6
2). [tex]\frac{2^5}{4}=\frac{2^5}{2^a}=2^b=c[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{2^5}{2^2}[/tex]
= [tex]2^{{5-2}}[/tex]
= [tex]2^{3}[/tex]
= 8
Therefore, a = 5, b = 3 and c = 8
