Question

Exponents please make the steps quick! and straight to the point ! thank you

Answer 1

We are given the following expression:

`((2x^3)/(x^4y^2))^2`

To simplify, we will first use the following property of exponents:

`((a)/(b))^2=((a^2)/(b^2))`

Applying the property we get:

`((2x^3)^2)/((x^4y^2)^2)`

Now we will use the following property:

`(ab)^2=a^2b^2`

applying the property:

`(4x^6)/(x^8y^4)`

Now we cancel out like terms:

`(4)/(x^2y^4)`

Since we can not simplify any further this is the answer.
