When an exponent has another exponent on top of it, they can be multiplied.
![(A^2)^3=A^(2\cdot3)=A^6](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/ilwxiucgsesilfgu2is5vxvh6kkyl5ggxu.png)
When two numbers with the same base are factors in a multiplication, their exponents can be added. The same for a quotient, but with the difference that the exponents are substracted (the number in the denominator is, in fact, the base with the negative exponent).
![(A^2\cdot A^3)/(A^5)=A^(2+3-5)=A^0](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/su3ss6kfat80dxzineg69oi1isdda6ej0x.png)
In the problem, we first appy the exponent power rule, in order to eliminate the parenthesis and have all the factors multypling:
![((2^2x^2y^5)^2)/((2xy^2)^3(3x^3)^2)=(2^4x^4y^(10))/(2^3x^3y^6\cdot3^2x^6)](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/sf7xfpl3jbhnqn7nf0xhgzbhi6pusyx517.png)
Then, to group the similar factors, we apply the product rule in the denominator, as the numerator is alrready simplified:
![(2^4x^4y^(10))/(2^3x^3y^6\cdot3^2x^6)=(2^4x^4y^(10))/(2^3x^(3+6)y^63^2)=(2^4x^4y^(10))/(2^33^2x^9y^6)](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/ntl28skpu8mpncihqnflzs8a4dgxbx0q7x.png)
Now, we apply the quotient rule for the factors with the same base:
![(2^4x^4y^(10))/(2^33^2x^9y^6)=2^(4-3)\cdot3^(-2)\cdot x^(4-9)\cdot y^(10-6)=2\cdot3^(-2)\cdot x^(-5)\cdot y^4](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/9d3i6enhl3bdnh48v2wedey9dtt8c36ono.png)
Finally, the negative exponents rule to put the numbers with negative exponents in the denominator with positive exponent:
![2\cdot3^(-2)\cdot x^(-5)\cdot y^4=(2y^4)/(3^2x^5)](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/glv8953o05272ealr1qzynwopaflsk1z6i.png)
