Very confused, need help quick! (see attachment) Simplify and show your work.

27/(4x^6y^8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Target the variables first. (x^a)^b is the same as x^(a x b).

In the numerator, it is x^(2 x 3) , which is x^6, and y^(4 x 3), which is y^12.

Same principle on the bottom. the denominator is x^12 and y^20.

In the numerator, the number 4 is alone so don't do anything to it. Cube 3. The coefficient of the numerator is 4 x 3^3 . The coefficient of the denominator is 2^4. Cancel like terms. when you divide same terms' exponents, you subtract the exponent on top by the exponent on the bottom. Remember that you can only simplify LIKE terms. (x with x, y with y, number with number.)

b) well because you get well
