Simplify Inside Parentheses: First, simplify the expression inside the parentheses before applying the exponent of −2.The expression x(2/2) simplifies to x(1) or just x, because any number raised to the power of 1 is itself.
Divide Like Bases: Now, simplify the expression inside the parentheses by dividing the terms with the same base.(3x1y3)/(x2y−1/2) simplifies to 3x(1−2)y(3−(−1/2)) by subtracting the exponents of like bases.
Subtract Exponents: Perform the subtraction of the exponents for x and y. For x: 1−2=−1 For y: 3−(−21)=3+21=3.5 or 27 The simplified expression inside the parentheses is now 3x−1y27.
Apply Exponent: Apply the exponent of −2 to the simplified expression.(3x−1y27)−2 means that each factor inside the parentheses is raised to the power of −2.
Raise to Power: Raise each factor inside the parentheses to the power of −2.For the coefficient 3: (3)−2=(32)1=91For x−1: (x−1)−2=x(−1)⋅(−2)=x2For y27: (y27)−2=y(27)⋅(−2)=y−7The expression now looks like 91x2y−7.
Final Simplified Form: The final simplified form of the expression is (91)x2y−7.Since y−7 is in the denominator when moved out of the exponent, the final answer is (91)x2/(y7).
