Answer: 9
Work Shown:
In the numerator, we have 2^2*x^2, which is really just 4x^2. Replace x with 3 and we get 4*x^2 = 4*3^2 = 36.
For the denominator, xy^2, we get
x*y^2 = 3*2^2 = 12
So far we have,
[tex]\frac{2^2x^2}{xy^2} = \frac{4x^2}{xy^2} = \frac{36}{12} = 3\\\\\text{ or simply} \\\\\frac{2^2x^2}{xy^2} = 3[/tex]
when x = 3 and y = 2.
Square both sides to end up with...
[tex]\frac{2^2x^2}{xy^2} = 3\\\\\left(\frac{2^2x^2}{xy^2}\right)^2 = 3^2\\\\\left(\frac{2^2x^2}{xy^2}\right)^2 = 9[/tex]
