Math Problem Statement

\frac{3a^2\left(x^3y\right)^4}{\left(6a\cdot x\right)^2y^3}

Solution

To simplify the given expression:

3a2(x3y)4(6ax)2y3\frac{3a^2\left(x^3y\right)^4}{\left(6a \cdot x\right)^2 y^3}

Let's break it down step by step.

Step 1: Expand the numerator and denominator.

  • For the numerator: 3a2(x3y)4=3a2x12y43a^2 \left(x^3 y\right)^4 = 3a^2 \cdot x^{12} \cdot y^4
  • For the denominator: (6ax)2y3=(62)a2x2y3=36a2x2y3\left(6a \cdot x\right)^2 y^3 = (6^2) \cdot a^2 \cdot x^2 \cdot y^3 = 36a^2x^2y^3

Thus, the expression becomes: 3a2x12y436a2x2y3\frac{3a^2 x^{12} y^4}{36 a^2 x^2 y^3}

Step 2: Simplify the coefficients, variables, and powers.

  • The coefficient: 336=112\frac{3}{36} = \frac{1}{12}
  • The a2a^2 terms cancel out.
  • For the xx terms: x12x2=x122=x10\frac{x^{12}}{x^2} = x^{12-2} = x^{10}
  • For the yy terms: y4y3=y43=y\frac{y^4}{y^3} = y^{4-3} = y

Thus, the simplified expression is: x10y12\frac{x^{10}y}{12}

Final answer:

x10y12\frac{x^{10}y}{12}
