Find x, y, z and evaluate expression

Given \(2^x \cdot 3^y \cdot 5^z = 2160\), find \(x, y, z\) and evaluate \(2^x \cdot 2^{-y} \cdot 5^{-z}\)

Solution

\[ 2160 = 2^4 \cdot 3^3 \cdot 5^1 \]

\[ \Rightarrow x = 4,\; y = 3,\; z = 1 \]

\[ 2^x \cdot 2^{-y} \cdot 5^{-z} \]

\[ = 2^{x-y} \cdot 5^{-z} \]

\[ = 2^{4-3} \cdot 5^{-1} \]

\[ = 2^1 \cdot \frac{1}{5} \]

\[ = \frac{2}{5} \]

Final Answer:

\[ \boxed{x = 4,\; y = 3,\; z = 1,\quad \frac{2}{5}} \]
