The answer is
8x^(3) y.

The given question should be solved using the appropriate law of indices. Thus given:


(2x^(2) y^(3) )
(4xy^(-2) )

Multiply the bracket considering the related terms, we have;

(2*4)*(
x^(2)*x)*(
y^(3)*
y^(-2))

(2*4) = 8

(
x^(2)*x) =
x^(3)

(
y^(3)*
y^(-2)) =
y^(1)

Therefore it can be concluded that;


(2x^(2) y^(3) )
(4xy^(-2) ) = 8*
x^(3) *
y^(1)

=
8x^(3) y
