Question

Which is the simplified form of the expression

Answer 1

4 / x¹⁴y⁸

Explanation:

eliminate parenthese by multiplying all exponents inside parentheses by the exponent outside the parentheses:

1/2⁶ ÷ 1/4⁴ = 1/64 ÷ 1/256 which equals 256/64 or 4

x⁻⁶y⁴ ÷ x⁸y¹² = x⁻¹⁴y⁻⁸ = 1/x¹⁴ · 1/y⁸

put it all together to get:

4÷(x¹⁴y⁸)
