Math Problem Statement

Simplify the given algebraic expressions and evaluate the mathematical values as per the problems shown in the image.

Solution

The image shows three math problems that involve simplifying expressions and evaluating values. I'll break down each one:

Problem 1:

(a2b3c3ab2c3)2\left( \frac{a^{-2}b^3c^{-3}}{ab^{-2}c^3} \right)^{-2} We need to simplify the expression inside the parentheses, then apply the exponent of 2-2.

Problem 2:

(x3y2z4x2y3c3)1\left( \frac{x^3y^{-2}z^4}{x^{-2}y^3c^3} \right)^{-1} This is another simplification problem, where we simplify the fraction inside the parentheses, followed by applying the exponent of 1-1.

Problem 3:

This involves evaluating the value of the following: (13)33223\left( \frac{1}{3} \right)^{-3} \cdot 3^2 \cdot 2^3 Divided by: (13)33221\left( \frac{1}{3} \right)^3 \cdot 3^2 \cdot 2^{-1}

I will solve each problem step by step.

Problem 1 Solution:

First, simplify the terms inside the parentheses: a2b3c3ab2c3\frac{a^{-2}b^3c^{-3}}{ab^{-2}c^3}

  • Combine the exponents of aa, bb, and cc individually:
    • For aa: a2÷a=a21=a3a^{-2} \div a = a^{-2-1} = a^{-3}
    • For bb: b3÷b2=b3(2)=b5b^3 \div b^{-2} = b^{3-(-2)} = b^{5}
    • For cc: c3÷c3=c33=c6c^{-3} \div c^3 = c^{-3-3} = c^{-6}

So the simplified expression inside the parentheses is: a3b5c61\frac{a^{-3}b^5c^{-6}}{1} Now apply the exponent 2-2: (a3b5c6)2=a6b10c12\left( a^{-3}b^5c^{-6} \right)^{-2} = a^{6}b^{-10}c^{12} Thus, the simplified expression is: a6b10c12a^6b^{-10}c^{12}

Problem 2 Solution:

First, simplify the terms inside the parentheses: x3y2z4x2y3c3\frac{x^3y^{-2}z^4}{x^{-2}y^3c^3}

  • For xx: x3÷x2=x3(2)=x5x^3 \div x^{-2} = x^{3-(-2)} = x^{5}
  • For yy: y2÷y3=y23=y5y^{-2} \div y^3 = y^{-2-3} = y^{-5}
  • For zz: z4z^4 (no change as there is no zz in the denominator)
  • For cc: c3c^{-3}

So the simplified expression inside the parentheses is: x5y5z4c3x^5y^{-5}z^4c^{-3} Now apply the exponent 1-1: (x5y5z4c3)1=x5y5z4c3\left( x^5y^{-5}z^4c^{-3} \right)^{-1} = x^{-5}y^{5}z^{-4}c^{3} Thus, the simplified expression is: x5y5z4c3x^{-5}y^5z^{-4}c^3

Problem 3 Solution:

We need to calculate: (13)33223(13)33221\frac{\left( \frac{1}{3} \right)^{-3} \cdot 3^2 \cdot 2^3}{\left( \frac{1}{3} \right)^3 \cdot 3^2 \cdot 2^{-1}}

First, simplify the numerator: (13)3=33\left( \frac{1}{3} \right)^{-3} = 3^3 333223=33+223=35233^3 \cdot 3^2 \cdot 2^3 = 3^{3+2} \cdot 2^3 = 3^5 \cdot 2^3

Now, simplify the denominator: (13)3=133=33\left( \frac{1}{3} \right)^3 = \frac{1}{3^3} = 3^{-3} 333221=33+221=31213^{-3} \cdot 3^2 \cdot 2^{-1} = 3^{-3+2} \cdot 2^{-1} = 3^{-1} \cdot 2^{-1}

So we have: 35233121=35(1)23(1)=3624\frac{3^5 \cdot 2^3}{3^{-1} \cdot 2^{-1}} = 3^{5-(-1)} \cdot 2^{3-(-1)} = 3^6 \cdot 2^4 Now calculate the final result: 36=729and24=163^6 = 729 \quad \text{and} \quad 2^4 = 16 Thus, the final result is: 72916=11664729 \cdot 16 = 11664

Summary:

  1. a6b10c12a^6b^{-10}c^{12}
  2. x5y5z4c3x^{-5}y^5z^{-4}c^3
  3. 1166411664
