1.
(a)
2 6 4 3 = 2 6 ( 2 2 ) 3 = 2 6 2 6 = 1 .

(b)
( 3 ) 6 9 6 = 3 6 9 6 = 3 6 ( 3 2 ) 6 = 3 6 ( 3 6 ) 2 = 1 3 6 .

(c)
1 x 5 4 = 1 x 5 4 = 1 x x 1 4 = 1 x x 4 .

(d)
x 3 x n x n + 1 = x 3 x = x 2 .

(e)
b 3 ( 3 b 1 ) 2 = b 3 1 9 b 2 = 1 9 b 5 .

(f)
2 x 2 y ( 3 x 2 y ) 2 = 2 x 2 y 9 x 4 y 2 = 2 9 x 6 y 1 .

2.
(a)
4 3 108 3 = 4 108 3 = 1 27 3 = 1 3 .

(b)
2 7 2 3 = 2 7 2 3 = ( 3 3 ) 2 3 = ( 3 2 ) 3 3 = 3 2 = 9 .

(c)
2 x 2 ( 3 x 5 ) 2 = 2 x 2 9 x 10 = 18 x 12 .

(d)
( 2 x 2 ) 3 x 3 = ( 2 x 2 x ) 3 = ( 2 x 1 ) 3 = 1 8 x 3 .

(e)
3 a 3 2 a 1 2 a 1 = 3 a ( 3 2 + 1 2 ) a 1 = 3 a 2 a 1 = 3 a 2 ( 1 ) = 3 a 3

(f)
a b ab 3 = a b 4 a 3 b 3 = a a 3 b 4 b 3 = a 1 2 a 1 3 b 1 4 b 1 3 = a 1 2 1 3 b 1 4 1 3 = a 1 6 b 1 12 = x 6 x 12 .
