Answer

1y3\frac{1}{y^3}

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Simplify the numerator.

    The numerator is 9x4y2\sqrt{9x^4y^2}.
    We can simplify each term under the square root:

    9x4y2=9⋅x4⋅y2\sqrt{9x^4y^2} = \sqrt{9} \cdot \sqrt{x^4} \cdot \sqrt{y^2} =3⋅x4/2⋅y2/2= 3 \cdot x^{4/2} \cdot y^{2/2} =3x2y= 3x^2y
  2. Simplify the denominator.

    The denominator is 27x6y123\sqrt[3]{27x^6y^{12}}.
    We can simplify each term under the cube root:

    27x6y123=273⋅x63⋅y123\sqrt[3]{27x^6y^{12}} = \sqrt[3]{27} \cdot \sqrt[3]{x^6} \cdot \sqrt[3]{y^{12}} =3⋅x6/3⋅y12/3= 3 \cdot x^{6/3} \cdot y^{12/3} =3x2y4= 3x^2y^4
  3. Divide the simplified numerator by the simplified denominator.

    Now, substitute the simplified expressions back into the fraction:

    3x2y3x2y4\frac{3x^2y}{3x^2y^4}

    Cancel out the common terms 3 and x2x^2:

    =yy4= \frac{y}{y^4}

    Using the rule of exponents aman=am−n\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}:

    =y1−4= y^{1-4} =y−3= y^{-3}

    This can also be written as:

    =1y3= \frac{1}{y^3}

    The simplified expression is 1y3\frac{1}{y^3}.
