If x, y, a, b are positive real numbers, prove that : (1/x^a-b)^1/a-c(1/x^-c)^1/b-a(1/x^c-a)^1/c-b = 1
Proof of Given Expression = 1 Question \[ (1/x^{a-b})^{\frac{1}{a-c}} (1/x^{b-c})^{\frac{1}{b-a}} (1/x^{c-a})^{\frac{1}{c-b}} \] Solution \[ = x^{-\frac{a-b}{a-c}} \cdot x^{-\frac{b-c}{b-a}} \cdot x^{-\frac{c-a}{c-b}} \] \[ = x^{-\left[\frac{a-b}{a-c} + \frac{b-c}{b-a} + \frac{c-a}{c-b}\right]} \] \[ = x^{-(1+1+1-2)} = x^{0} \] \[ = 1 \] Answer \[ \boxed{1} \] Next Question / Full Exercise
