Question

Please help me I have a test in an hour :(
Simplify: (x^5)^2y^4 / (2xy)^3
I need the working out also, thanks in advance sooo much

Answer 1

How do you get the answer?

Answer 2

\((x^5)^2 = x^{10}\) ok?
I break it to smallest term

Answer 3

so, the numerator is \(x^{10} y^4\) got this part?

Answer 4

Ok...

Answer 5

for denominator, you distribute the exponent to EACH of the term
so that \(\Large (2xy)^3 = 2^3*x^3*y^3= 8x^3y^3\) Got this part?

Answer 6

Yes

Answer 7

Now, combine both numerator and denominator
\[\Large \dfrac{x^{10}y^4}{8x^3y^3}= \dfrac{x^7y}{8}\]

Answer 8

Got it?

Answer 9

Yes thanks a ton :D

Answer 10
