SOLUTION: Simplify the expressions. Assume that any variables in the expression are nonzero.Step by step, so I can understand. (2a^2 b^4)^4 b/(6a^2 b)^3
Question 754182: Simplify the expressions. Assume that any variables in the expression are nonzero.Step by step, so I can understand. (2a^2 b^4)^4 b/(6a^2 b)^3 Answer by rothauserc(4718) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! evaluate (2a^2 b^4)^4 b/(6a^2 b)^3
fist step is to multiply the exponent that raises the parenthesis by exponents within the parenthesis
(2^4*a^8*b^16) * b/(6^3*a^6*b^3)
multiply by b
2^4*a^8*b^17 / 6^3*a^6*b^3
reduce by canceling the powers of like terms and compute where possible
16*a^2*b^14 / 216
2*a^2*b^14 / 27
