Question

Look at this expression.
24^x4y
_______
3x^-4y^-1

Which of the following is the simplest form of the expression above?

a. 8
b. 8x-16y-1
c. 8x-1y-1
d. 8x8y2

Answer 1

\(\huge \frac{a^m}{a^n}=a^{(m-n)}\)

Answer 2

okay so, it would be option d?
8x^8y^2 ?

Answer 3

\(\huge \frac{24x^4y}{3x^{-4}y^{-1}}=\frac{24}{3}*x^{(4--4)}*y^{1--1}=8x^8y^2\)

good job

Answer 4

thank you (:
