Math Problem Statement
(3x2y-2)^3 / (9xy3)^3
Solution
We are given the expression:
To simplify this, we will break down the steps:
Step 1: Expand the denominator
The denominator is . We can distribute the exponent 3 across the terms inside the parentheses:
Since , the denominator becomes:
Step 2: Rewrite the expression
Now the expression becomes:
Step 3: Simplification
Unfortunately, the numerator cannot be factored further in a simple form since it's a binomial cubed. You would need to expand it using the binomial theorem if you wish to express it in terms of powers of and .
The fully simplified version, unless expanded further, is:
Would you like to expand the numerator using the binomial theorem? Let me know if you'd like further details on this.
