If a = xy^p-1, b = xy^q-1 and c = xy^r-1, prove that a^q-r b^r-p c^p-q = 1

Proof of a^(q-r) b^(r-p) c^(p-q) = 1 Given \(a=xy^{p-1},\; b=xy^{q-1},\; c=xy^{r-1}\), prove: \[ a^{q-r} b^{r-p} c^{p-q} = 1 \] Proof \[ = (xy^{p-1})^{q-r} (xy^{q-1})^{r-p} (xy^{r-1})^{p-q} \] \[ = x^{q-r}y^{(p-1)(q-r)} \cdot x^{r-p}y^{(q-1)(r-p)} \cdot x^{p-q}y^{(r-1)(p-q)} \] \[ = x^{(q-r)+(r-p)+(p-q)} \cdot y^{(p-1)(q-r)+(q-1)(r-p)+(r-1)(p-q)} \] \[ = x^0 \cdot y^0 \] \[ = 1 \] Hence Proved Next Question /

Solve the equation for x: 4^x-1 × (0.5)^3-2x = (1/8)^x

Solve 4^(x-1)(0.5)^(3-2x) = (1/8)^x Solve: \(4^{x-1}\times (0.5)^{3-2x} = \left(\frac{1}{8}\right)^x\) Solution \[ 4 = 2^2,\quad 0.5 = 2^{-1},\quad \frac{1}{8} = 2^{-3} \] \[ = (2^2)^{x-1} \cdot (2^{-1})^{3-2x} = (2^{-3})^x \] \[ = 2^{2x-2} \cdot 2^{-3+2x} = 2^{-3x} \] \[ = 2^{4x-5} = 2^{-3x} \] \[ \Rightarrow 4x – 5 = -3x \] \[ \Rightarrow 7x =
