Math Problem Statement

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{2}{3} [(-xy)^m]^2 - [(x^2y)^2]^m : (3x^{2m}) - 0.3 \overline{(x^m y^m)}\).

Solution

To evaluate the expression provided in the image, let's break down each part carefully. The expression is:

[ \frac{2}{3} \left[(-xy)^m\right]^2 - \left[(x^2 y)^2\right]^m : (3x^{2m}) - 0.3 \overline{(x^m y^m)} ]

Let's evaluate each component step-by-step:

  1. The first term: 23[(xy)m]2\frac{2}{3} \left[(-xy)^m\right]^2 Here, (xy)m(-xy)^m is raised to the power of 22, which can be expanded as: = \frac{2}{3} \cdot (x^{2m} y^{2m}) = \frac{2}{3} x^{2m} y^{2m}$$
  2. The second term: [(x2y)2]m\left[(x^2 y)^2\right]^m This simplifies as follows: = x^{4m} y^{2m}$$
  3. The third term (division operation): (23x2my2mx4my2m)3x2m\frac{\left(\frac{2}{3} x^{2m} y^{2m} - x^{4m} y^{2m}\right)}{3x^{2m}} We combine the first two terms as a single fraction. Simplifying within the parentheses: =23x2my2mx4my2m= \frac{2}{3} x^{2m} y^{2m} - x^{4m} y^{2m} Dividing by 3x2m3x^{2m}, we proceed to simplify this further, adjusting as needed.
