We need to use the properties of exponents to rewrite the expression $\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^{10}$.

According to the rule of powers for fractions, when a fraction is raised to a power, both the numerator and the denominator must be raised to that power:

• $\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^n = \frac{a^n}{b^n}$

Therefore, applying this rule to our expression:

$\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^{10} = \frac{5^{10}}{6^{10}}$

Thus, we have correctly rewritten the given expression using exponent rules.

The corresponding expression for $\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^{10}$ is $\frac{5^{10}}{6^{10}}$.

The problem asks us to express $\left(\frac{3}{7}\right)^6$ in another form. To solve this, we apply the exponent rule for fractions: $\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^n = \frac{a^n}{b^n}$.

• First, identify the numerator and the denominator in the fraction $\frac{3}{7}$.
• We have $a = 3$ and $b = 7$.
• According to the exponent rule, raise both the numerator and the denominator separately to the power of 6:

$\left(\frac{3}{7}\right)^6 = \frac{3^6}{7^6}$

This signifies that each component of the fraction is raised to the power of 6.

To verify, we compare our result with the given choices:

• Option 1: $\frac{3}{7^6}$ does not apply the exponent to the "3".
• Option 2: $\frac{3^6}{7^6}$, matches our derived expression.
• Option 3: $\frac{3^6}{7}$ does not apply the exponent to the "7".
• Option 4: $6\times\left(\frac{3}{7}\right)^5$ changes the power on the entire fraction and multiplies by 6, which is incorrect based on our interpretation.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $\frac{3^6}{7^6}$, which corresponds to choice 2.

Using the formula $\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^n = \frac{a^n}{b^n}$, we can express $\left(\frac{5}{8}\right)^9$ as follows:

Step 1: Identify the base and exponent in $\left(\frac{5}{8}\right)^9$. Here, $a = 5$, $b = 8$, and $n = 9$.

Step 2: Apply the exponentiation rule:
$\left(\frac{5}{8}\right)^9 = \frac{5^9}{8^9}$.

Therefore, the original expression simplifies to $\frac{5^9}{8^9}$.

As a result, the correct rewritten form of $\left(\frac{5}{8}\right)^9$ is $\frac{5^9}{8^9}$.

To solve the expression $\left(\frac{10}{13}\right)^{-4}$, we start by applying the rule for dividing exponents is:

$\frac{10^{-4}}{13^{-4}}$, which maintains the negative exponent but as separate components of fraction resulting in the same value.

Consequently, the expression $\left(\frac{10}{13}\right)^{-4}$ equates to $\frac{10^{-4}}{13^{-4}}$.

By comparing this with the presented choices, we identify that option (2):

$\frac{10^{-4}}{13^{-4}}$

matches correctly with our conversion of the original expression.

Therefore, the correct expression is $\frac{10^{-4}}{13^{-4}}$.

To solve this problem, we will apply the rules of exponents:

• Step 1: Identify the Given Expression
• Step 2: Apply the Exponent Rule

Now, let's work through these steps:

Step 1: We are given the expression $\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^x$.

Step 2: According to the rule of exponents, when a fraction is raised to a power, this is equivalent to raising both the numerator and the denominator to that power. Therefore, we have:

$\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^x = \frac{3^x}{4^x}$

Therefore, the expression $\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^x$ is equivalent to $\frac{3^x}{4^x}$.

Thus, the correct answer is option 1, which is $\frac{3^x}{4^x}$.

The solution to the problem is $\frac{3^x}{4^x}$.

Let's determine the corresponding expression for $\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^a$:

We apply the property of exponentiation for fractions, which states:
$\left(\frac{x}{y}\right)^n = \frac{x^n}{y^n}$.

Substituting $x = 2$, $y = 3$, and $n = a$, we have:

$\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^a = \frac{2^a}{3^a}$.

Therefore, the correct expression is $\frac{2^a}{3^a}$.

Assessing the possible choices:

• Choice 1: $\frac{2}{3^a}$ - This is incorrect as it does not raise the numerator to $a$.
• Choice 2: $\frac{2a}{3a}$ - This is incorrect as it misuses the exponent rule.
• Choice 3: $\frac{2^a}{3^a}$ - This is correct, as it follows the exponentiation property.
• Choice 4: $\frac{2^a}{3}$ - This is incorrect as it does not raise the denominator to $a$.

Thus, the correct choice is Choice 3: $\frac{2^a}{3^a}$.

To solve this problem, we must square the fraction $\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)$. The exponent rule for fractions states that when you raise a fraction $\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)$ to the power of $n$, it becomes $\frac{a^n}{b^n}$.

Here, in the fraction $\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)$, we identify the numerator $a = 1$ and the denominator $b = 2$, with the exponent $n = 2$.

Applying the formula, we calculate the result:
$\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2 = \frac{1^2}{2^2}$

Therefore, the expression that corresponds to $\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2$ is $\frac{1^2}{2^2}$, which directly matches the given choice.

• $\left(\frac{6}{x}\right)^3 = \frac{6^3}{x^3}$.

Therefore, the expression is correctly written as $\frac{6^3}{x^3}$.

Comparing with the provided answer choices, the correct choice is choice $2$:

$\frac{6^3}{x^3}$

To solve this problem and transform the expression $\left(\frac{5}{y}\right)^7$, we need to utilize the exponent rule for powers of fractions:

• Step 2: According to the exponent rule $\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^n = \frac{a^n}{b^n}$, we can apply the exponent of 7 to both the numerator and the denominator.
• Step 3: Applying this rule gives us $\frac{5^7}{y^7}$. This step distributes the power to each component of the fraction, preserving the structure of the expression.

Thus, the simplified form of the expression $\left(\frac{5}{y}\right)^7$ is $\frac{5^7}{y^7}$.

This matches choice 3 from the provided options.

This rule states that if you have a fraction $\left(\frac{m}{n}\right)$ and you raise it to a power $k$, it is equivalent to raising both the numerator and the denominator to the power $k$. Therefore, we have:

$\left(\frac{a}{3}\right)^2 = \frac{a^2}{3^2}$

Here, $a^2$ is the numerator and $3^2$ is the denominator. The expression simplifies to:

$\frac{a^2}{9}$

Based on the provided choices, the correct answer is:

Choice 1: $\frac{a^2}{3^2}$

Therefore, the solution to the given problem is $\frac{a^2}{3^2}$.

Step 2: According to the exponent rule, $\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^n = \frac{a^n}{b^n}$, apply the exponent $4$ to both $b$ and $5$.
Step 3: This results in the expression $\frac{b^4}{5^4}$.

Therefore, the expression $\left(\frac{b}{5}\right)^4$ simplifies to $\frac{b^4}{5^4}$.
