()simplify 2 with an exponent of 5 over 3 with an exponent of 2 and the equation has an exponent of 4 a. 2 with an exponent of 20 over 3 with an exponent of 8 b. 2 with n exponent of 9 over 3 with an exponent of 8 c. 8 with an exponent of 5 over 12 with an exponent of 8 d. 2 over 3 with an exponent of 2

Assuming you mean this as your problem I hope I can assist you.

So just apply the exponent rule to start, which is (a/b)^c = a^c/b^c
This translates to....

Now apply the exponent rule (a^b)^c = a^bc
Which translates to 3^2 * 4 which is refined to 3^8
So now we have....

Just apply the exponent rule (a^b)^c
So we get 2^5 * 4 which refines to 2^20
Therefore our final answer is 2^20/3^8
