For \(x\ne0\), what is the simplified form of \(\frac{(5x^{-2})^{2}(2x^{4})^{2}}{20x^{4}}\)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 5

Using the laws of exponents, \((5x^{-2})^2=25x^{-4}\) and \((2x^4)^2=4x^8\). Thus, the numerator becomes \(25x^{-4}\cdot4x^8=100x^4\). Therefore, \(\frac{100x^4}{20x^4}=5\), since \(x\ne0\). Hence, the correct answer is 5. Exam tip: square each bracket first, combine powers with the same base, and then cancel common factors.
