Q. Given x>0 and y>0, select the expression that is equivalent to−16x8y3−4x4y23−4x6y4ix4y234ix6y
Simplify inside square root: First, we need to simplify the expression inside the square root. The square root of a negative number involves the imaginary unit i, where i2=−1. Therefore, we can rewrite the expression as −1×16x8y3.
Simplify square roots: Next, we can simplify the square root of −1 as i, and the square root of 16x8y3 as 4x4y23, since 16 is a perfect square and x8 and y3 have exponents that are multiples of 2.
Multiply simplified expressions: Multiplying these two results together, we get i×4x4y23, which simplifies to 4ix4y23.
Check for correct answer: Now we need to check if our result matches any of the given options. The correct expression equivalent to −16x8y3 is 4ix4y23.
