Find the value of $\frac{x}{y}$ if $(\frac{3}{5})^{4}$ $\times$ $(\frac{15}{10})^{4}$=$(\frac{x}{y})^{4}$


Solution:


 $(\frac{3}{5})^{4}$ $\times$ $(\frac{15}{10})^{4}$=$(\frac{x}{y})^{4}$     

$a^4\times  b^4    =   (ab)^4$    

$(\frac{3}{5})^{4}$ $\times$ $(\frac{15}{10})^{4}$  =   $(\frac{3}{5} \times \frac{15}{10})^4 $ 

$(\frac{3}{5})^{4}$ $\times$ $(\frac{15}{10})^{4}$   =   $(\frac{9}{10})^4$                       [$5 \times 3  =  15  ;  3 \times 3  = 9$]

 

$(\frac{9}{10})^4$ = $(\frac{x}{y})^{4}$  

Powers are equal , so we can cancel them,

$\frac{9}{10}  =  \frac{x}{ y}$

$\frac{x}{ y}   =   \frac{9}{10}$

Therefore the value of $\frac{x}{y} = \frac{9}{10}$
