Step-by-step explanation:
It can work well to identify 4th powers under the radical, then remove them.
_____
The applicable rules of exponents are ...
1/a^b = a^-b
(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)
The x-factors simplify as ...
x^6/x^4 = x^(6-4) = x^2
The y-factors simplify as ...
y/y^5 = 1/y^(5-1) = 1/y^4
The constant factors simplify in the usual way:
24/128 = (8·3)/(8·16) = 3/16
D. 1/4
Explanation:
a perfect square is written in the form
(1)
In our problem, we have this perfect square:
(2)
with C being unknown. However, by comparing (1) and (2), we know that
So, we find
and therefore, the missing term must be
so the complete square is
