Question

which values of a and b make the expression true (2xy)^4/4xy = 4x^a y^b
A. a=0,b = 0
B. a=3,b =3
C. a=4,b =4
D. a=5,b =5

Answer 1

Answer: (B) a=3, b=3

Step-by-step explanation:

   $\dfrac{(2xy)^4}{4xy}$

$=\dfrac{2^4x^4y^4}{4xy}$

$=\dfrac{16x^4y^4}{4xy}$

$=4x^{4-1}y^{4-1}$

$=4x^3y^3$

Answer 2

Answer:

b
