1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to divide the expression 2a9/5b4a7/3b4a3b22a^{9/5}b^4 - a^{7/3}b^4 - a^3b^2 by 5ab5ab.

2. Solution Steps

We can rewrite the expression as:
2a9/5b4a7/3b4a3b25ab\frac{2a^{9/5}b^4 - a^{7/3}b^4 - a^3b^2}{5ab}.
We can split this fraction into three separate fractions:
2a9/5b45aba7/3b45aba3b25ab\frac{2a^{9/5}b^4}{5ab} - \frac{a^{7/3}b^4}{5ab} - \frac{a^3b^2}{5ab}
We can simplify each fraction using the property aman=amn\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n} and bmbn=bmn\frac{b^m}{b^n} = b^{m-n}.
For the first term:
2a9/5b45ab=25a9/51b41=25a9/55/5b3=25a4/5b3\frac{2a^{9/5}b^4}{5ab} = \frac{2}{5}a^{9/5 - 1}b^{4-1} = \frac{2}{5}a^{9/5 - 5/5}b^3 = \frac{2}{5}a^{4/5}b^3
For the second term:
a7/3b45ab=15a7/31b41=15a7/33/3b3=15a4/3b3\frac{a^{7/3}b^4}{5ab} = \frac{1}{5}a^{7/3 - 1}b^{4-1} = \frac{1}{5}a^{7/3 - 3/3}b^3 = \frac{1}{5}a^{4/3}b^3
For the third term:
a3b25ab=15a31b21=15a2b\frac{a^3b^2}{5ab} = \frac{1}{5}a^{3-1}b^{2-1} = \frac{1}{5}a^2b
Combining these three simplified terms:
25a4/5b315a4/3b315a2b\frac{2}{5}a^{4/5}b^3 - \frac{1}{5}a^{4/3}b^3 - \frac{1}{5}a^2b

3. Final Answer

25a4/5b315a4/3b315a2b\frac{2}{5}a^{4/5}b^3 - \frac{1}{5}a^{4/3}b^3 - \frac{1}{5}a^2b
