Question

Guys, Can you please help me with these questions

Answer 1

Answer:

a) $w^{13} x^{5} y^{6}$

b) $\frac{x}{3y^{6} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

a) $(w^{2} xy^{3} )^{2}(w^{3}x )^{3}$

1. Distribute the second power (2) outside the first pair of parenthesis:

$(w^{2(2)} x^{2} y^{3(2)} )$

= $w^{4} x^{2} y^{6} (w^{3}x )^{3}$

2. Distribute the third power (3) outside the second pair of parenthesis:

$(w^{3(3)} x^{3} )$

= $w^{4} x^{2} y^{6} w^{9} x^{3}$

3. Combine like terms:

$w^{13} x^{5} y^{6}$

b) $\frac{2x^{2} y^{5} }{6xy^{11} }$

1. Factor the number 6 (= 2 · 3):

$\frac{2x^{2} y^{5} }{2(3)xy^{11} }$

2. Cancel the common factor (2):

$\frac{x^{2} y^{5} }{3xy^{11} }$

3. Cancel out $xy^{5}$ in the numerator an denominator:

$\frac{x}{3y^{6} }$

hope this helps!
