One ordered pair (a,b) satisfies the two equations ab^4 = 384 and ab^5 = 4608. What is the value of a in this ordered pair?
Substitute the first equation into the second: \(384b = 4068\), meaning \(b = 12\)
Now, plug this back into the first equation, and solving for a gives us \(a = \color{brown}\boxed{1 \over 54}\)
