Q. Which of the following expression(s) are equivalent to (x2y3)/(xy) ? Select all that apply.A. xy2 B. yxy3C. xx2y2 D. x3x4
Simplify Expression: Simplify the given expression.We start by simplifying the given expression (x2y3)/(xy) by canceling out common factors in the numerator and the denominator.(x2y3)/(xy)=x2−1y3−1=xy2
Check Option A: Check each option for equivalence.A. xy2: This is the simplified form we found in Step 1, so it is equivalent.
Check Option B: Check option B.B. xy3/y: Simplify this expression by canceling out the common factor y in the numerator and the denominator.xy3/y=xy3−1=xy2This is equivalent to the simplified expression from Step 1.
Check Option C: Check option C.C. x2y2/x: Simplify this expression by canceling out the common factor x in the numerator and the denominator.x2y2/x=x2−1y2=xy2This is equivalent to the simplified expression from Step 1.
Check Option D: Check option D.D. x3x4: This expression does not have the variable y, and it is not in the form of the simplified expression from Step 1, so it is not equivalent.
