To simplify the expression \( \frac{3x^3y^{-4}}{12x y^4} \) using the properties of integer exponents, we can follow these steps:

  1. Separate the coefficients and the variables: \[ \frac{3}{12} \cdot \frac{x^3}{x} \cdot \frac{y^{-4}}{y^4} \]

  2. Simplify the coefficients: \[ \frac{3}{12} = \frac{1}{4} \]

  3. Simplify the \( x \) terms using the property \( \frac{x^a}{x^b} = x^{a-b} \): \[ \frac{x^3}{x} = x^{3-1} = x^2 \]

  4. Simplify the \( y \) terms using the property \( \frac{y^a}{y^b} = y^{a-b} \): \[ \frac{y^{-4}}{y^4} = y^{-4-4} = y^{-8} \]

  5. Combine everything: \[ \frac{1}{4} x^2 y^{-8} \]

  6. Rearranging to express it with positive exponents: \[ \frac{x^2}{4y^8} \]

Thus, the equivalent algebraic expression to \( \frac{3x^3y^{-4}}{12xy^4} \) is: \[ \frac{x^2}{4y^8} \]

None of the provided choices match this exact expression, but let's check which is most similar:

  • \( \frac{3}{12x^4y^8} \) simplifies to \( \frac{1}{4x^4y^8} \)
  • \( \frac{1}{4x^4y^8} \) does not match.
  • \( \frac{1}{4x^{12}} \) does not match.
  • \( 4x^4y^8 \) does not match.

Therefore, the closest choice that simplifies correctly would be \( \frac{1}{4}x^2y^{-8} \) (if presented in the selection with all positive exponents).

Given the provided options, it seems like the correct consideration is not present, but if sticking strictly to provided expressions, \( \frac{1}{4x^4y^8} \) can be marked as the simplest equivalent structure available, yet the primary answer from simplification is \( \frac{x^2}{4y^8} \).

Which one

From the given options:

  1. \( \frac{3}{12x^4y^8} \)
  2. \( \frac{1}{4x^4y^8} \)
  3. \( \frac{1}{4x^{12}} \)
  4. \( 4x^4y^8 \)

The expression we simplified earlier is:

\[ \frac{x^2}{4y^8} \]

This can be reformulated (to match the provided options) as:

\[ \frac{1}{4} \cdot \frac{x^2}{y^8} \]

However, none of the options directly matches this expression. The option that is closest to being in the form we derived is:

2. \( \frac{1}{4x^4y^8} \)

This is the only choice that is in the form of a fraction with \(4\) in the denominator, though it does not fully represent the expression we simplified to. If forced to choose from the provided options, \( \frac{1}{4x^4y^8} \) is the best match, but please note that it does not fully represent the simplified form of the initial expression.

Apply the properties of integer exponents to simplify the algebraic expression of (2x6^3 * (x^2y)^3

To simplify the expression \( 2x6^3 \cdot (x^2y)^3 \), we will apply the properties of integer exponents step by step.

  1. Simplify \( 6^3 \): \[ 6^3 = 216 \] So, \[ 2 \cdot 6^3 = 2 \cdot 216 = 432 \]

  2. Expand \( (x^2y)^3 \) using the power of a product rule, \( (ab)^m = a^m \cdot b^m \): \[ (x^2y)^3 = (x^2)^3 \cdot (y)^3 = x^{2 \cdot 3} \cdot y^3 = x^6y^3 \]

  3. Combine the expressions: Now substituting back into the expression gives us: \[ 432x \cdot x^6y^3 \]

  4. Combine the \(x\) terms using the property \( x^a \cdot x^b = x^{a+b} \): \[ 432x^{1 + 6}y^3 = 432x^7y^3 \]

The fully simplified expression is: \[ 432x^7y^3 \]

This is the simplified version of the given expression \( 2x6^3 \cdot (x^2y)^3 \).

32x^10y^11

X^10y15

16x^10y15

Let's simplify the expression \( 2x6^3 \cdot (x^2y)^3 \) step by step using the properties of integer exponents.

Step 1: Simplify \( 2x6^3 \)

  1. Calculate \( 6^3 \): \[ 6^3 = 216 \]
  2. Therefore: \[ 2 \cdot 6^3 = 2 \cdot 216 = 432 \]
  3. So, we have: \[ 432x \]

Step 2: Simplify \( (x^2y)^3 \)

Using the property \( (ab)^m = a^m \cdot b^m \): \[ (x^2y)^3 = (x^2)^3 \cdot y^3 = x^{2 \cdot 3} \cdot y^3 = x^6 \cdot y^3 \]

Step 3: Combine the results

Now substitute back into the entire expression: \[ 432x \cdot (x^6y^3) = 432x^{1 + 6}y^3 = 432x^7y^3 \]

Summary of the Simplification

The expression simplifies to: \[ 432x^7y^3 \]
