Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify.

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{4(3x)^2}{(2x)^2}[/tex]

Step 2: Simplify:

  1. Rewrite [Exponential Distributive Property]:                                                  [tex]\displaystyle \frac{4(3x)^2}{(2x)^2} = \frac{4(3^2x^2)}{2^2x^2}[/tex]
  2. [Order of Operations] Evaluate exponents:                                                   [tex]\displaystyle \frac{4(3x)^2}{(2x)^2} = \frac{4(9x^2)}{4x^2}[/tex]
  3. [Order of Operations] Multiply:                                                                        [tex]\displaystyle \frac{4(3x)^2}{(2x)^2} = \frac{36x^2}{4x^2}[/tex]
  4. Simplify:                                                                                                            [tex]\displaystyle \frac{4(3x)^2}{(2x)^2} = \frac{36}{4} ,\ x \neq 0[/tex]
  5. [Order of Operations] Divide:                                                                          [tex]\displaystyle \frac{4(3x)^2}{(2x)^2} = 9 ,\ x \neq 0[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{4(3x)^2}{(2x)^2}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto\dfrac{ 4(9x^2)}{4x^2}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{36x^2}{4x^2}[/tex]

  • Take x^2 common and cancel.

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{x^2}{x^2}\left(\dfrac{36}{4}\right)[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{36}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto 9[/tex]
