Solution

To simplify the given expression (35)4(85)12(325)6\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)^4 \left(\frac{8}{5}\right)^{-12} \left(\frac{32}{5}\right)^6, we follow these steps:

  1. Combine the fractions using properties of exponents.
  2. Simplify the resulting expression.

Here's the expression: (35)4(85)12(325)6\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)^4 \left(\frac{8}{5}\right)^{-12} \left(\frac{32}{5}\right)^6

Step 1: Combine the fractions: (35)4=3454\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)^4 = \frac{3^4}{5^4} (85)12=(812512)=512812\left(\frac{8}{5}\right)^{-12} = \left(\frac{8^{-12}}{5^{-12}}\right) = \frac{5^{12}}{8^{12}} (325)6=32656\left(\frac{32}{5}\right)^6 = \frac{32^6}{5^6}

Now, combine all these together: 345451281232656\frac{3^4}{5^4} \cdot \frac{5^{12}}{8^{12}} \cdot \frac{32^6}{5^6}

Step 2: Simplify the exponents: 345123265481256\frac{3^4 \cdot 5^{12} \cdot 32^6}{5^4 \cdot 8^{12} \cdot 5^6}

Combine the exponents of 55: 34512510=3452812326\frac{3^4 \cdot 5^{12}}{5^{10}} = \frac{3^4 \cdot 5^{2}}{8^{12}} \cdot 32^6

Next, simplify the powers of 32 and 8: 8=23    812=(23)12=2368 = 2^3 \implies 8^{12} = (2^3)^{12} = 2^{36} 32=25    326=(25)6=23032 = 2^5 \implies 32^6 = (2^5)^6 = 2^{30}

Substitute these back: 3452236230\frac{3^4 \cdot 5^{2}}{2^{36}} \cdot 2^{30}

Combine the exponents of 2: 345226\frac{3^4 \cdot 5^{2}}{2^{6}}

Step 3: Final simplification: 812564=202564\frac{81 \cdot 25}{64} = \frac{2025}{64}

Thus, the simplified form of the expression is: 202564\frac{2025}{64}
