Step by step solution :Step 1 :Equation at the end of step 1 : (((3•(x2))•(y4))3) 4•—————————————————— ((2x3•(y5))4) Step 2 :Equation at the end of step 2 : ((3x2 • (y4))3) 4 • ——————————————— 24x12y20 Step 3 : 33x6y12 Simplify ———————— 24x12y20 Dividing exponential expressions :
3.1 x6 divided by x12 = x(6 - 12) = x(-6) = 1/x6
Dividing exponential expressions :
3.2 y12 divided by y20 = y(12 - 20) = y(-8) = 1/y8
Equation at the end of step 3 : 27 4 • —————— 16x6y8 Step 4 :Final result : 27 ————— 4x6y8
