Question

This is for mathematics. The first person to answer the question correctly will be fanned and given a medal.

Simplify (4x^(2)y)(3xy)(2xy)^3.

96x^4y^5
96x^6y^5
24x^4y^5
24x^6y^5

Answer 1

Here are the possible answers:
96x^4y^5
96x^6y^5
24x^4y^5
24x^6y^5

Answer 2

(4x^(2)y)(3xy)(2xy)^3

Using just the coefficients

4 * 3 * 2^3 = 96

Using just the x values

x^2 * x * x^3, add the exponents

From there it should be enough to narrow it down through process of elimination
