(((4xy^(2))^(4))/((5xy)^(3)))*((3x^(2)y)^(2))/((4xy^(3))^(2)) Expand the exponent (4) to the expression. ((4^(4)x^(4)y^(2*4))/((5xy)^(3)))*((3x^(2)y)^(2))/((4xy^(3))^(2)) Multiply 2 by 4 to get 8. ((4^(4)x^(4)y^(8))/((5xy)^(3)))*((3x^(2)y)^(2))/((4xy^(3))^(2)) Raising a number to the 4th power is the same as multiplying the number by itself 4 times. In this case, 4 raised to the 4th power is 256. ((256x^(4)y^(8))/((5xy)^(3)))*((3x^(2)y)^(2))/((4xy^(3))^(2)) Expand the exponent (3) to the expression. ((256x^(4)y^(8))/(5^(3)x^(3)y^(3)))*((3x^(2)y)^(2))/((4xy^(3))^(2)) Cubing a number is the same as multiplying the number by itself 3 times (5*5*5). In this case, 5 cubed is 125. ((256x^(4)y^(8))/(125x^(3)y^(3)))*((3x^(2)y)^(2))/((4xy^(3))^(2)) Reduce the expression (256x^(4)y^(8))/(125x^(3)y^(3)) by removing a factor of x^(3)y^(3) from the numerator and denominator. ((256xy^(5))/(125))*((3x^(2)y)^(2))/((4xy^(3))^(2)) Expand the exponent (2) to the expression. ((256xy^(5))/(125))*(3^(2)x^(2*2)y^(2))/((4xy^(3))^(2)) Multiply 2 by 2 to get 4. ((256xy^(5))/(125))*(3^(2)x^(4)y^(2))/((4xy^(3))^(2)) Squaring a number is the same as multiplying the number by itself (3*3). In this case, 3 squared is 9. ((256xy^(5))/(125))*(9x^(4)y^(2))/((4xy^(3))^(2)) Expand the exponent (2) to the expression. ((256xy^(5))/(125))*(9x^(4)y^(2))/(4^(2)x^(2)y^(3*2)) Multiply 3 by 2 to get 6. ((256xy^(5))/(125))*(9x^(4)y^(2))/(4^(2)x^(2)y^(6)) Squaring a number is the same as multiplying the number by itself (4*4). In this case, 4 squared is 16. ((256xy^(5))/(125))*(9x^(4)y^(2))/(16x^(2)y^(6)) Reduce the expression (9x^(4)y^(2))/(16x^(2)y^(6)) by removing a factor of x^(2)y^(2) from the numerator and denominator. ((256xy^(5))/(125))*(9x^(2))/(16y^(4)) Reduce the expression by removing the common factor of 16y^(4) in the denominator of the first term (9x^(2))/(16y^(4)) and the numerator of the second term (256xy^(5))/(125). 9x^(2)*(16xy)/(125) Multiply 9x^(2) by (16xy)/(125) to get (144x^(3)y)/(125). (144x^(3)y)/(125)
