Question
Reduce each of the following rational expressions to lowest terms.$$\frac{\left(-4 x^{3}\right)^{2}}{\left(-2 x^{4}\right)^{3}}$$
Step 1
The numerator is $\left(-4 x^{3}\right)^{2}$ which simplifies to $16x^{6}$. The denominator is $\left(-2 x^{4}\right)^{3}$ which simplifies to $-8x^{12}$. So, the expression becomes: $$\frac{16x^{6}}{-8x^{12}}$$ Show more…
