Solve the given problem. (a) By use of (ab) = ab or an -n (b #0) and a = (a 0), show that bn an (b) Verify the equation in part (a) by evaluating each side with a = 3.741, b = 8.873, and n = 3. (a) First, use (ab) = ab or n a 0"- = - (2) a (Do not simplify.) -n a 0-0" = a n an (b #0) to rewrite the left side using negative exponents. bn n Solve the given problem.
