which expression is equivalent to...

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Cancel [tex]x^5[/tex].
[tex]\frac{9y^{16} }{45y^4}[/tex]
2) Take out the constants.
[tex]\frac{9}{45} \times\frac{y^{16} }{y^4}[/tex]
3) Simplify [tex]\frac{9}{45}[/tex] to [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex].
[tex]\frac{1}{5} \times\frac{y^{16} }{y^4}[/tex]
4) Simplify.
[tex]\frac{y^{16} }{5y^4}[/tex]
5) Use Quotient Rule: Use Quotient Rule: [tex]\frac{{x}^{a}}{{x}^{b}}={x}^{a-b}[/tex].
[tex]\frac{{y}^{16-4}}{5}[/tex]
6) Simplify [tex]16-4[/tex] to [tex]12[/tex].
[tex]\frac{y^{12} }{5}[/tex]
