Simplify [tex]\frac{\left(3 y^4 n^6\right)^2}{\left(y^2 n^{-3}\right)^4}[/tex]. Assume the denominator is not equal to zero.

A. [tex]\frac{9}{y^{16}}[/tex]
B. [tex]\frac{9}{y^{24}}[/tex]
C. [tex]9 y^{16}[/tex]
D. [tex]9 n^{24}[/tex]



Answer :

To simplify the expression [tex]\(\frac{\left(3 y^4 n^6\right)^2}{\left(y^2 n^{-3}\right)^4}\)[/tex], we should start by simplifying both the numerator and the denominator separately:

1. Simplify the numerator:
[tex]\[ \left(3 y^4 n^6\right)^2 \][/tex]
Raise each term inside the parentheses to the power of 2:
[tex]\[ (3 y^4 n^6)^2 = 3^2 \cdot (y^4)^2 \cdot (n^6)^2 \][/tex]
Calculate each of these:
[tex]\[ 3^2 = 9, \quad (y^4)^2 = y^{4 \cdot 2} = y^8, \quad (n^6)^2 = n^{6 \cdot 2} = n^{12} \][/tex]
Therefore, the numerator is:
[tex]\[ 9 y^8 n^{12} \][/tex]

2. Simplify the denominator:
[tex]\[ \left(y^2 n^{-3}\right)^4 \][/tex]
Raise each term inside the parentheses to the power of 4:
[tex]\[ (y^2 n^{-3})^4 = (y^2)^4 \cdot (n^{-3})^4 \][/tex]
Calculate each of these:
[tex]\[ (y^2)^4 = y^{2 \cdot 4} = y^8, \quad (n^{-3})^4 = n^{-3 \cdot 4} = n^{-12} \][/tex]
Therefore, the denominator is:
[tex]\[ y^8 n^{-12} \][/tex]

3. Combine the simplified numerator and denominator:
[tex]\[ \frac{9 y^8 n^{12}}{y^8 n^{-12}} \][/tex]
Simplify the fraction by canceling out the common factors:
[tex]\[ \frac{9 y^8 n^{12}}{y^8 n^{-12}} = 9 \cdot \frac{y^8}{y^8} \cdot \frac{n^{12}}{n^{-12}} \][/tex]
Since [tex]\( \frac{y^8}{y^8} = 1 \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ 9 \cdot 1 \cdot \frac{n^{12}}{n^{-12}} = 9 \cdot n^{12 - (-12)} = 9 \cdot n^{12 + 12} = 9 \cdot n^{24} \][/tex]

Therefore, the simplified expression is:
[tex]\[ 9 n^{24} \][/tex]

So, the correct answer is:
[tex]\[ \boxed{9 n^{24}} \][/tex]
