Q. c(ba)⋅(cb)aWhich of the following is equivalent to the given expression?Choose 1 answer:(A) b2a2(B) c2a2(c) b2c2a2(D) b2a2c2
Multiply by reciprocal: Simplify the given expression by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the reciprocal of the denominator.The given expression is: (ba)/(ac)⋅(cb)aWe can rewrite this as: (ba)⋅(c1)⋅a⋅(bc)
Cancel out common factors: Simplify the expression by canceling out common factors.The c in the numerator and the c in the denominator cancel each other out, as do the b in the numerator and the b in the denominator.This leaves us with: b⋅ba⋅a
Use exponents: Rewrite the simplified expression using exponents.The expression (a⋅a)/(b⋅b) can be written as: (a2)/(b2)
Match with answer choices: Match the simplified expression with the given answer choices.The expression (a2)/(b2) corresponds to answer choice (A).
