Step-by-step solution

6 steps

Here are the solutions for simplifying the expressions:

1.

3p12q2×10p3q515pq4\frac{3p^{12}q^2 \times 10p^3q^5}{15pq^4}
  1. Multiply the terms in the numerator.

    Multiply the coefficients: 3×10=303 \times 10 = 30.
    Combine the pp terms using pa×pb=pa+bp^a \times p^b = p^{a+b}: p12×p3=p12+3=p15p^{12} \times p^3 = p^{12+3} = p^{15}.
    Combine the qq terms using qa×qb=qa+bq^a \times q^b = q^{a+b}: q2×q5=q2+5=q7q^2 \times q^5 = q^{2+5} = q^7.
    The numerator becomes 30p15q730p^{15}q^7.

  2. Divide the simplified numerator by the denominator.

    30p15q715p1q4\frac{30p^{15}q^7}{15p^1q^4}

    Divide the coefficients: 3015=2\frac{30}{15} = 2.
    Divide the pp terms using papb=pa−b\frac{p^a}{p^b} = p^{a-b}: p15p1=p15−1=p14\frac{p^{15}}{p^1} = p^{15-1} = p^{14}.
    Divide the qq terms using qaqb=qa−b\frac{q^a}{q^b} = q^{a-b}: q7q4=q7−4=q3\frac{q^7}{q^4} = q^{7-4} = q^3.

  3. Combine the simplified terms.

    2p14q32p^{14}q^3

    The simplified expression is 2p14q3\boxed{2p^{14}q^3}.

    2.

    −5a6y48a4b2×16a3b410a3b3\frac{-5a^6y^4}{8a^4b^2} \times \frac{16a^3b^4}{10a^3b^3}
  4. Multiply the numerators and the denominators separately.

    Numerator: (−5a6y4)×(16a3b4)(-5a^6y^4) \times (16a^3b^4)
    Multiply coefficients: −5×16=−80-5 \times 16 = -80.
    Combine aa terms: a6×a3=a6+3=a9a^6 \times a^3 = a^{6+3} = a^9.
    The y4y^4 and b4b^4 terms remain as they are.
    So, the combined numerator is −80a9y4b4-80a^9y^4b^4.

    Denominator: (8a4b2)×(10a3b3)(8a^4b^2) \times (10a^3b^3)
    Multiply coefficients: 8×10=808 \times 10 = 80.
    Combine aa terms: a4×a3=a4+3=a7a^4 \times a^3 = a^{4+3} = a^7.
    Combine bb terms: b2×b3=b2+3=b5b^2 \times b^3 = b^{2+3} = b^5.
    So, the combined denominator is 80a7b580a^7b^5.

  5. Divide the combined numerator by the combined denominator.

    −80a9y4b480a7b5\frac{-80a^9y^4b^4}{80a^7b^5}

    Divide the coefficients: −8080=−1\frac{-80}{80} = -1.
    Divide the aa terms: a9a7=a9−7=a2\frac{a^9}{a^7} = a^{9-7} = a^2.
    The y4y^4 term remains in the numerator.
    Divide the bb terms: b4b5=b4−5=b−1=1b\frac{b^4}{b^5} = b^{4-5} = b^{-1} = \frac{1}{b}.

  6. Combine the simplified terms.

    −1×a2×y4×1b=−a2y4b-1 \times a^2 \times y^4 \times \frac{1}{b} = -\frac{a^2y^4}{b}

    The simplified expression is −a2y4b\boxed{-\frac{a^2y^4}{b}}.
