What is the simplified form of \(\left(\frac{4x^{3}y^{-2}}{2x^{-1}y^{4}}\right)^{2}\cdot\frac{y^{12}}{x^{4}}\)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(4x^{4}\)
Inside, \(\frac{4x^{3}y^{-2}}{2x^{-1}y^{4}}=2x^{4}y^{-6}\), and its square is \(4x^{8}y^{-12}\). Multiplying by \(\frac{y^{12}}{x^{4}}\) gives \(4x^{4}\).
