Math Problem Statement

solve this with indicies

Solution

Let's solve the given expression using the properties of indices.

The expression is:

23(3322)2(3224)3\frac{2^3 \cdot \left(3^3 \cdot 2^{-2}\right)^2}{\left(3^{-2} \cdot 2^4\right)^3}

Step 1: Expand the powers inside the parentheses

Starting with the numerator: 23(3322)2=23(33×222×2)=2336242^3 \cdot \left(3^3 \cdot 2^{-2}\right)^2 = 2^3 \cdot \left(3^{3 \times 2} \cdot 2^{-2 \times 2}\right) = 2^3 \cdot 3^6 \cdot 2^{-4}

For the denominator: (3224)3=32×324×3=36212\left(3^{-2} \cdot 2^4\right)^3 = 3^{-2 \times 3} \cdot 2^{4 \times 3} = 3^{-6} \cdot 2^{12}

Step 2: Combine like terms in the numerator and denominator

Now, combine the powers of 2 and 3 in the numerator: 232436=23436=2136=3622^3 \cdot 2^{-4} \cdot 3^6 = 2^{3 - 4} \cdot 3^6 = 2^{-1} \cdot 3^6 = \frac{3^6}{2}

And simplify the denominator: 362123^{-6} \cdot 2^{12}

Step 3: Combine the numerator and denominator

Now, we divide the simplified numerator by the simplified denominator: 36236212=362×136212=36×362212=36+621+12=312213\frac{\frac{3^6}{2}}{3^{-6} \cdot 2^{12}} = \frac{3^6}{2} \times \frac{1}{3^{-6} \cdot 2^{12}} = \frac{3^6 \times 3^6}{2 \cdot 2^{12}} = \frac{3^{6+6}}{2^{1+12}} = \frac{3^{12}}{2^{13}}

Final Answer

The expression simplifies to:

312213\frac{3^{12}}{2^{13}}
