Q. (p2q2l5m3n6)(pql5m4n6)Which expression is equivalent to the given quotient for all m,n,p,q>0 ?Choose 1 answer:(A) mpq1(B) mpq(C) p3q3l10m7n12(D) 1
Given expression: We are given the expression:(p2q2l5m3n6)(pql5m4n6)We need to simplify this complex fraction to find an equivalent expression.
Multiply by reciprocal: To simplify a complex fraction, we can multiply the numerator and the denominator by the reciprocal of the denominator. In this case, we multiply by l5m3n6p2q2.
Expression after multiplication: The expression becomes:(pql5m4n6)×(l5m3n6p2q2)
Multiply numerators and denominators: Now we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:pq×l5m3n6l5m4n6×p2q2
Cancel out common terms: We can cancel out the common terms in the numerator and the denominator:1l5+0m4−3n6+0p2−1q2−1
Simplify exponents: Simplify the exponents:1l5m1n6p1q1
Final simplified expression: Since dividing by 1 does not change the value, we can write the simplified expression as:l5m1n6pq
Check steps: Looking at the answer choices, none of them match our simplified expression exactly. We must have made a mistake in our simplification process. Let's go back and check our steps.
