1. **State the problem:**
We need to write 4 expressions equal to $$\frac{8a^{16}}{ab^{10}}$$ each using a different power law from the given four:
- $$x^m / x^n = x^{m-n}$$
- $$x^m \cdot x^n = x^{m+n}$$
- $$x^{-m} = \frac{1}{x^m}$$
- $$x^0 = 1$$
2. **Simplify the original expression:**
$$\frac{8a^{16}}{ab^{10}} = 8 \cdot \frac{a^{16}}{a} \cdot \frac{1}{b^{10}} = 8a^{16-1}b^{-10} = 8a^{15}b^{-10}$$
3. **Expression using the division power law $$x^m / x^n = x^{m-n}$$:**
$$8a^{16}b^{-10} \cdot a^{-1} = 8a^{16-1}b^{-10} = 8a^{15}b^{-10}$$
4. **Expression using the multiplication power law $$x^m \cdot x^n = x^{m+n}$$:**
Rewrite $$8a^{15}b^{-10}$$ as
$$8a^{10} \cdot a^{5} \cdot b^{-10} = 8a^{10}a^{5}b^{-10}$$
5. **Expression using the negative exponent law $$x^{-m} = \frac{1}{x^m}$$:**
$$8a^{15} \cdot b^{-10} = \frac{8a^{15}}{b^{10}}$$
6. **Expression using the zero exponent law $$x^0 = 1$$:**
Write $$a^{15} = a^{15} \cdot a^0$$ and $$b^{-10} = b^{-10} \cdot b^0$$ so
$$8a^{15}b^{-10} = 8a^{15}a^0b^{-10}b^0$$
**Final four expressions:**
1. $$8a^{16}b^{-10}a^{-1}$$
2. $$8a^{10}a^{5}b^{-10}$$
3. $$\frac{8a^{15}}{b^{10}}$$
4. $$8a^{15}a^0b^{-10}b^0$$
