Question

simplify the given expression. Assume that no variable equals 0.

Answer 1

A. 2x^3Y^12
B. 4x^6/y^12

Answer 2

maybe easiest to work inside first. divide 8 by 4 gives 2. then
\[\frac{x^6}{x^3}=x^3\] and
\[\frac{y^6}{y^{12}}=\frac{1}{y^6}\] so inside you have
\[\frac{2x^3}{y^6}\]

Answer 3

\[(2x ^{3}\div y ^{6})^{2}\]
=4x^6/y^12

Answer 4

now square to get what lalay wrote

Answer 5

so B
