Question Rewrite (119)s\left(\frac{11}{9}\right)^{s} as a quotient of powers.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. We are given the expression (119)s\left(\frac{11}{9}\right)^{s}.
2. We need to express it as a quotient of powers.
3. The variable ss is an exponent applied to both the numerator and the denominator.
4. The options provided are in the form of powers of integers or a quotient of powers.

STEP 2

Recall the property of exponents that states when a fraction is raised to a power, the exponent applies to both the numerator and the denominator.
(ab)n=anbn\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^{n} = \frac{a^{n}}{b^{n}}

STEP 3

Apply this property to the given expression (119)s\left(\frac{11}{9}\right)^{s}.
(119)s=11s9s\left(\frac{11}{9}\right)^{s} = \frac{11^{s}}{9^{s}}

STEP 4

To match the given options, we need to determine the value of ss that makes the expression a quotient of powers where the powers are integers.

STEP 5

Looking at the options, we see that the powers of 11 and 9 are 5 and 3, respectively, in option D. This suggests that ss could be 5 because the power of 11 is 5, and we can express 959^{5} as 93929^{3} \cdot 9^{2}.

STEP 6

Rewrite 959^{5} as a product of 939^{3} and 929^{2}.
95=93929^{5} = 9^{3} \cdot 9^{2}

STEP 7

Now, let's express the denominator 9s9^{s} with ss as 5 in terms of 939^{3}.
95=(93)(5/3)9^{5} = (9^{3})^{(5/3)}

STEP 8

Since we cannot have fractional exponents to match the options, we need to find an integer value for ss that allows us to express 9s9^{s} as 939^{3}.

STEP 9

The only integer value for ss that allows this is s=3s = 3, as 939^{3} is already in the desired form.

STEP 10

Now that we have determined s=3s = 3, we can substitute this value into the expression 11s9s\frac{11^{s}}{9^{s}}.
11s9s=11393\frac{11^{s}}{9^{s}} = \frac{11^{3}}{9^{3}}

STEP 11

We see that option D has the form 11593\frac{11^{5}}{9^{3}}. To match this, we need to express 11311^{3} in a way that resembles 11511^{5}.

STEP 12

Notice that we cannot directly convert 11311^{3} into 11511^{5}, but we can express 11511^{5} as 11311211^{3} \cdot 11^{2}.

STEP 13

Since we cannot have additional factors of 11 in the numerator to match the options, we conclude that the value of ss must be 3 to match the form of the options, specifically option D.

STEP 14

Therefore, the correct representation of (119)s\left(\frac{11}{9}\right)^{s} as a quotient of powers, with s=3s = 3, is option D.
(119)s=11s9s=11393\left(\frac{11}{9}\right)^{s} = \frac{11^{s}}{9^{s}} = \frac{11^{3}}{9^{3}}
The correct answer is D. 11593\frac{11^{5}}{9^{3}}.
