The equivalent expression is x^4y.
To simplify the expression x^5y^2/xy^2, we can cancel out the common factors x and y^2 in the numerator and denominator.
This leaves us with x^5y^2/xy^2 = x^(5-1)y^(2-2) = x^4y^0 = x^4.
Therefore, the correct option is D. x^4.
Which of the following is equivalent to x^5y^2/xy^2 when x ≠ o and y ≠ o
A. x^6y^5
B. x^5y
C. x^4y
