Question Image
Now, we can write 8 in terms of power as Question Image . Hence,
Question Image
We know that Question Image. Hence, the above equation can be written as
Question Image
Now, let us take Question Image outside the numerator. We will get
Question Image
We can write this as
Question Image
Let us cancel the common factors from numerator and denominator. We will get
Question Image
Let us take the denominator to the RHS. We will get
Question Image
We can now solve the RHS by cancelling the common factors.
Question Image
Now, let us write 8 in terms of powers of 2. We will get
Question Image
We know that Question Image. Hence, we can write the above expression as
Question Image
We have studied that Question Image. So the above expression becomes
Question Image
We know that if the bases are equal on both the sides, then their powers are equal. Hence,
Question Image
