Final Answer:

The answer of the given equation that " simplified form is of 12x/900x²y⁴z⁶" is C. 360xy⁻³z⁻⁵

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify the expression
\((12x)/(900x^2y^4z^6)\), you can simplify the numerical part and then simplify the variables separately. Here's the breakdown:

1. Simplify the numerical part:


\((12)/(900) = (1)/(75)\)

2. Simplify the variables:

- For
\(x\): \(x^1\)in the numerator and
\(x^2\) in the denominator result in
\(x^(1-2) = x^(-1)\).

- For
\(y\): \(y^1\) in the numerator and
\(y^4\) in the denominator result in
\(y^(1-4) = y^(-3)\).

- For
\(z\): \(z^0\) in the numerator and
\(z^6\) in the denominator result in
\(z^(0-6) = z^(-6)\).

Combining the numerical and variable parts, the simplified form is:


\[ (1)/(75) \cdot (x^(-1))/(y^3z^6) = (1)/(75xy^3z^6) \]

Now, to match the given options, you can multiply the numerator and denominator by 360:


\[ (1)/(75xy^3z^6) * (360)/(360) = (360)/(5625xy^3z^6) \]

Therefore, the correct simplified form is C. 360xy⁻³z⁻⁵.
