Question 43939
simplify: (3x^4)^2(4x^-5)^-1/12x^-6 = (3x^4) (3x^4)=9x^8
9x^8 * 4x^-6/12x^-6
simplify 4th root of (x^5 divided by 16y^15)
simplify: (x^1/4y^1/2)^2(x^2y^3)^1/2 
--------------------------------------------
Simplify:(3x^4)^2(4x^-5)^-1/12x^-6 
(9x^8)[(1/4)x^5]/[12/x^6]
[(9/4)x^12]*[x^6 / 12]
(3/16)x^18
---------------------------------------------
Simplify: (x^5 divided by 16y^15)^(1/4)
=x(x^(1/4)) / [2y^3(y^(3/4)]
=(x/2y^3)(x/y^3)^(1/4)
-----------------------------------------
Simplify:(x^1/4y^1/2)^2(x^2y^3)^1/2 
=[x^(1/2)/(16y]*[xy^(3/2)]
=[x^(3/2)y(3/2)]/16y
=(1/16)[x^(3/2)y^(1/2)]
----------------------------
Comment: You may find the "simplified" versions
in your answer book are different then these.
To simplify frequently allows for many interpretations.
The important thing is that you arrive at a correct
form that is acceptable for your purposes.
