Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Simplify the following problem
00:03 According to the laws of exponents, a fraction raised to the power (N)
00:07 equals the numerator and denominator raised to the same power (N)
00:11 We will apply this formula to our exercise
00:15 Note that the exponent (N) contains an addition operation
00:19 This is the solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we need to rewrite the expression (1119)a+3b\left(\frac{11}{19}\right)^{a+3b} using the rules for powers of fractions. Specifically, we apply the exponent to both the numerator and the denominator separately.

According to the rule (xy)n=xnyn\left(\frac{x}{y}\right)^n = \frac{x^n}{y^n}, we apply the exponent a+3ba+3b to both 11 and 19:

(1119)a+3b=11a+3b19a+3b \left(\frac{11}{19}\right)^{a+3b} = \frac{11^{a+3b}}{19^{a+3b}}

Therefore, the expression can be rewritten as 11a+3b19a+3b\frac{11^{a+3b}}{19^{a+3b}}, matching choice 3 in the provided options.

Hence, the solution to the problem is 11a+3b19a+3b\frac{11^{a+3b}}{19^{a+3b}}.
