If \( \left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^m \left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^n = \frac{252}{729} \), find the values of m and n

Assessment: JAMB UTME - Mathematics - 1983 Subject: General Mathematics

Question 1 Report

m = 4, n = 2

m = -4, n = -2

m = -4, n =2

m = 4, n = -2

m = -2, n = 4

Answer Details

(

\frac{2}{3}

)m (

\frac{3}{4}

)n =

\frac{252}{729}

\frac{2^{m}}{4^{n}}

x

\frac{3^{n}}{3^{m}}

= 283-6
2m - 2n x 3n - m = 28 x 3-6
m - 2n = 8........(i)
-m + n = -6........(ii)
Solving the equations simultaneously
m = 4, n = -2
