Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
When there is a set of values within parenthesis, and an exponents on the values and on the parenthesis, you multiply the outer exponent with the inner exponent.
When a value has a negative exponent, the value that has the negative exponent will become a fraction and go to the denominator of the fraction (or go immediately to the denominator), or if it is already a fraction, goes to the denominator. If the value that has the negative exponent is in the denominator, the value will go to the numerator. In both instances, the negative exponent will then change to positive.
First, we need to simplify the expression inside the parenthesis.
[tex]y^{\frac{3}{2} } x^{-\frac{1}{2} } --> \frac{y^{\frac{3}{2} } }{x^{\frac{1}{2}} }[/tex]
Now we multiply the 4 to the exponents.
[tex]\frac{y^{\frac{3}{2} *\frac{x4}{1} } }{x^{\frac{1}{2}}*\frac{4}{1} } = \frac{y^{\frac{12}{2}} }{x^{\frac{4}{2}}} = \frac{y^6}{x^2}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{y^6}{x^2}[/tex] is the answer.
