Answer:
I believe it is D
Explanation:
We can first multiply the 2 and 4 together to get 8.
Wow we already eliminated A.
When you have negative powers, you can just replace it with their inverse and turn the power positive.
For example, 2 to the power of -3 (2 ^ -3) can be replaced by 1/2 to the power of 3 (1/2^-3).
So we now have 8 (x^4 / yx^2
We can then just subtract the x's power of 2, because when dividing exponents with the same variable or base, we can just subtract them.
For example, x^5 divided by x ^ 2 has the same base/ variable of x, and you can subtract the 5 by 2 to get x^3.
So we have 8 ( x^2y)
So 8x^2 y
D.
