Math Problem Statement

\frac{x^3y^2}{xy^{-3}^{}\cdot2x^0y^3}

Solution

Let's simplify the given expression step by step:

The expression is:

x3y2xy32x0y3\frac{x^3y^2}{xy^{-3} \cdot 2x^0y^3}

Step 1: Simplify the denominator

First, rewrite the denominator xy32x0y3xy^{-3} \cdot 2x^0y^3:

  • x0=1x^0 = 1, since anything raised to the power of 0 is 1.
  • Now, the denominator becomes xy32y3xy^{-3} \cdot 2y^3.

Combine the terms in the denominator: xy32y3=2xy3+3=2x.xy^{-3} \cdot 2y^3 = 2x \cdot y^{-3+3} = 2x.

So, the expression becomes: x3y22x.\frac{x^3y^2}{2x}.

Step 2: Simplify the fraction

Now, simplify the fraction:

  • For the xx-terms: x3x=x31=x2\frac{x^3}{x} = x^{3-1} = x^2.
  • The yy-terms remain y2y^2, as there are no yy-terms in the denominator.

Thus, the expression simplifies to: x2y22.\frac{x^2y^2}{2}.

Final Answer:

x2y22.\frac{x^2y^2}{2}.
