Math Problem Statement

(\frac{\frac{x^3y^2}{z}}{\frac{y^3}{x^2}})^5

Solution

The image encountered an issue during the display process. However, based on what I can see, the mathematical expression is likely a complex fraction raised to a power. I will describe and solve the problem based on this assumption.

The expression looks like: (x3y2zy3x2)5\left( \frac{\frac{x^3y^2}{z}}{\frac{y^3}{x^2}} \right)^5 You are asked to simplify it. Let's work through the solution:

Step 1: Simplify the inner fraction

x3y2zy3x2=x3y2z×x2y3=x3y2x2zy3=x3+2y23z=x5y1z\frac{\frac{x^3y^2}{z}}{\frac{y^3}{x^2}} = \frac{x^3y^2}{z} \times \frac{x^2}{y^3} = \frac{x^3y^2 \cdot x^2}{z \cdot y^3} = \frac{x^{3+2} y^{2-3}}{z} = \frac{x^5 y^{-1}}{z} So, the simplified expression is: x5yz\frac{x^5}{y z}

Step 2: Raise the expression to the power of 5

Now, raise the entire fraction to the power of 5: (x5yz)5=(x5)5(yz)5=x25y5z5\left( \frac{x^5}{y z} \right)^5 = \frac{(x^5)^5}{(y z)^5} = \frac{x^{25}}{y^5 z^5}

Thus, the simplified expression is: x25y5z5\frac{x^{25}}{y^5 z^5}

Among the answer choices, this should match one of them, likely the third one.
